Construct energy level diagrams for B2 and O2 that show both the atomic orbitals and the molecular orbitals and use these diagrams to explain why both molecules are paramagnetic. Label the molecular orbitals to reveal both their symmetry and their atomic orbital parentage. Note: one diagram and labeling does not apply to both molecules.
