Assuming that the molecular orbital diagram shown in Figure 10.40 is correct for heteronuclear diatomic molecules containing elements that are close to each other in the periodic table, write a homonuclear diatomic molecule and a heteronuclear diatomic molecule (remember that molecules are neutral) that both have the given electron configuration.
