The dixenon cation Xe₂ ⁺ has been characterized structurally. Using molecular modeling software, calculate and observe the energies and shapes of the molecular orbitals of this ion. Classify each of the seven highest-energy occupied orbitals as and as bonding or antibonding. The bond in this compound was reported as the longest main group–main group bond observed to date. Account for this very long bond. (See T. Drews, K. Seppelt, Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. , 1997 , 36 , 273.)
