Interactive Molecular Orbital Diagrams

William F. Coleman
Wellesley College, Wellesley, MA 02481

Interactive Molecular Orbital Diagrams is an application for constructing the molecular orbital electron configurations of heteronuclear diatomic molecules. Energy level diagrams are given for the two different cases encountered in heteronuclear diatomics of the first short period (Li2 - Ne2).

This is a useful tool for having students explore questions of bond order, magnetic properties and numbers of unpaired electrons..
