Construct an energy level diagram

Reference no: EM13132303

construct an energy level diagram (molecular orbital) for the molecule SO. We are then asked to comment on the ionic species of SO - bond order, bond distance etc. So far so good.

Then we are asked the bond order of SO^4+ (assuming that it is formed).

I have laboriously drawn out the whole thing (not attached) and the bond order appears to be 3.

This is on the presumption that total electrons would be 20 (16 for S and 4 for O^4+).

This ion would not be paramagnetic.
