(A) Refer to Figure 11-26. Write a molecular orbital occupancy diagram, determine the bond order, and write the electronic configurations of 

(a) N₂⁺; 

(b) Ne₂⁺;

(c) C₂^2-.

(B) The bond lengths for O₂⁺, O₂, O₂^- and O₂^2- are 112, 121, 128, and 149 pm, respectively. Are these bond lengths consistent with the bond order determined from the molecular orbital occupancy diagram? Explain.
