The correct order of energies of molecular orbitals of N 2 molecule, is

σ σ 1s < σ σ *1s < σ σ 2s < σ σ *2s < σ σ 2p z < σ σ * 2p z ( π π 2p x = π π 2p y ) < ( π π *2p x = π π *2p y )

σ σ 1s < σ σ *1s < σ σ 2s < σ σ *2s < 2p z ( π π 2p x = π π 2p y ) < ( π π *2p x = π π *2p y ) < σ σ * 2p z ( π π 2p x = π π 2p y ) < σ σ 2p z < σ σ *2p z

σ σ 1s < σ σ *1s < σ σ 2s < σ σ *2s < ( π π 2p x = π π 2p y ) < σ σ 2p z < ( π π *2p x = π π *2p y ) < σ σ * 2p z

σ σ 1s < σ σ *1s < σ σ 2s < σ σ *2s < σ σ 2p z < ( π π 2p x = π π 2p y ) < ( π π *2p x = π π *2p y ) < σ σ * 2p z
