Give the ground state electron configurations of(a) Li2 (b) Be2 (c) C2 .Use the symmetry-specific nomenclature appropriate for homonuclear diatomics. Example, Sg would stand for σg. Enclose each MO in parenthesis followed by the number of electrons in that MO, e.g., the entry (1Sg)2 would represent 1σg2. Letter P then is used to represent a pair of π MO's.
