CO+ (13 electrons)

In the case of CO, the 2s atomic orbital on oxygen is much lower than the energy than the 2s atomic orbital of carbon ,this discrepancy of energy allows the π2px & π2py BMO to lower the energy than sigma*2sMO in the MO diagram of CO

σ1S2 σ*1S2 σ2S2 (π2Px2=π2Py2)σ2Pz2 σ*2S1 Bond order =Nb - Na2                      =10-32=72=3.5
