Consider the species formed by the addition of an extra electron to H2 so that there are three electrons and a negative charge. Show an energy level diagram for the MOs of this species. Is there still a bond between the hydrogens—that is, is it still necessary to add energy to cause the atoms to separate? Predict how the bond length of this species compares to that of H2.
