Advanced Theories of Covalent Bonding

What charge would be needed on \({{\rm{F}}_{\rm{2}}}\) to generate an ion with a bond order of \({\rm{2}}\)?

Predict whether the MO diagram for S₂ would show s-p mixing or not.

Explain why N₂²⁺ is diamagnetic, while O₂⁴⁺, which has the same number of valence electrons, is paramagnetic.

Using the MO diagrams, predict the bond order for the stronger bond in each pair:

B₂ or B₂⁺

F₂ or F₂⁺

O₂ or O₂ ²⁺

C₂⁺ or C₂ ^-
