Halogens can form heteronuclear compounds between themselves, sometimes referred to as interhalogens. One of these interhalogen compounds is iodine monofluoride. Given that the energy ordering of molecular orbitals was shown by calculation to be 1σ, 2σ, 1π, 3σ, 2π, 4σ determine the ground state configuration of this interhalogen. Use molecular orbital diagrams to illustrate your answer.
