The order of MO energies in B₂,C₂,and N₂ (σ_2p π_2p),is different from the order in O₂,F₂,and Ne₂ This is due to ________. A)less effective overlap of p orbitals in O₂, F₂, and Ne₂ B)the more metallic character of boron, carbon and nitrogen as compared to oxygen, fluorine, and neon C)greater 2s-2p interaction in O₂, F₂, and Ne₂ D)greater 2s-2p interaction in B₂, C₂,and N₂ E)less effective overlap of p orbitals in B₂, C₂, and N₂
