inorganic chemistry - What are the molecular orbitals shaped like in diberyllium (mono)cation?


I think one way of describing the result is that the bond in BeX+2? cation is a resonance hybrid of two possible pi bonds. Each pi bond has a bond order of 1 so the resonance hybrid structure has two partial pi bonds. But then can it further be in a resonance hybrid of different rotations and so be an even cylinder?


I guess if you wanted to be silly you could say that that the electron configuration for each beryllium ion is like:


[↑↓]2s[|](2p)2[]2p
