SOLVED:(a) Use the LCAO method to construct a general MO diagram (without electrons) to show the interactions between the valence 2 s and 2 p atomic orbitals of two X atoms as they form X2. Take the X nuclei to lie on the z -axis. (b) How does this MO diagram change if you allow mixing between the σ(2 s) and σ(2 p), and between the σ^*(2 s) and σ^*(2 p) MOs? Draw a revised MO diagram for X2 (c) Use each diagram from parts (a) and (b) to deduce the bond order and magnetic properties of B2. What e
