    By the end of this chapter, students will be able to:

    • Construct molecular diagrams for A‑A and A‑B type molecules

    • Calculate the bond order of diatomic molecules

    • Determine the magnetic properties of homo‑ and heteronuclear diatomic molecules

    • Determine the hybridization type of hetero‑atomic molecules

    The two prerequisites necessary for understanding this second chapter are:

    • The electronic configuration of atoms (see Chapter I)

    • The geometry of atomic orbitals (see Chapter I)
