it's clear that the answer is all over the place, but it does mention the sigma 2s sigma star 2s and pi 2p orbitals. however, the explanation of the electron arrangement is confusing. can someone clean this up and provide a clearer explanation of the mo e

the calculation for bond order and the explanation for the molecular orbital arrangement seem informative although the delivery could be more coherent for easier understanding

It's a bit difficult to follow the explanation due to the lack of clear organization and the verbal delivery Some additional visual aids or clearer annotations on the molecular orbital diagram might have helped in understanding the concept better

The explanation does seem to cover the necessary information about the molecular orbital diagram and the electron arrangement for the Be2 molecular ion, but it could benefit from a more structured approach and clearer enunciation for better comprehension.

The answer provides some insight into the MO energy diagram for Be2, but the explanation is quite confusing. It mentions the orbital arrangement and the electron configuration for the beryllium molecule with a negative charge, but its difficult to follow.

Ugh this answer is a mess. The question asks for a MO energy diagram for Be2 not beryllium 2 minus The transcription is all over the place making it super difficult to follow along. Can someone break it down in simpler terms?
