If we assume that the energy-level diagrams for homonuclear diatomic molecules shown in Figure 9.43 can be applied to heteronuclear diatomic molecules and ions, predict the bond order and magnetic behavior of (a) CO⁺, (b) NO^-, (c) OF⁺, (d) NeF⁺.

The bond order is ½ (7–2) = 2.5, and the ion is paramagnetic.

The bond order is ½ (8–4) = 2, and the ion is paramagnetic.

The bond order is ½ (8–6) = 1, and the ion is diamagnetic.
