(a) Sketch the occupied MOs of the valence shell for the N2 molecule. Label the orbitals as o or ™ orbitals, and specify which are bonding and which are antibonding. (b) If one electron is removed from the highest occupied orbital of N2, will the equilibrium N-N distance become longer or shorter? Explain briefly.
