Electron configuration of diatomic molecules

The ground-state electron configurations of diatomic molecules are deduced by forming molecular orbitals from all the valence-sbell atomic orbitals of the two atoms and adding the valence electrons to the molecular orbitals in order of increasing energy, in accord ivith the building-up principle.

We have described the orbital approaches to the electron configurations of diatomic molecules, both the molecular orbital and the united atom models. We now turn to the question of what types of molecular states result from given states of the separate atoms. If Russell Saunders coupling is valid for the separate atoms, the correlation rules, due to Wigner and Witmer [16] provide a valid and complete summary of the molecular states. This information is extremely important for an understanding of both the formation and dissociation of diatomic molecules.
