Also, what is the bond order for C2, and is it paramagnetic?

(7.1) In the space below, draw a molecular orbital diagram for \( \mathrm{C}_{2} \). Your diagram should show all the valence \( (n=2) \) orbitals for both carbon atoms and for the molecule. (The 3 headings below are there as a guide.) Label each MO as \( \sigma \) or \( \pi \) and as bonding or antibonding. Then draw arrows in your diagram to show the ground state electron configuration of \( \mathrm{C}_{2} \).
