Explanation

Two molecular orbitals $$\sigma 2 \mathrm{s}$$ and $$\sigma * 2 \mathrm{s}$$.

Six molecular orbitals $$\sigma 2 \mathrm{p}_z$$ and $$\sigma * 2 \mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{z}}$$.

$$\pi 2 \mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{x}}, \pi 2 \mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{y}}$$ and $$\pi * 2 \mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{x}}, \pi^* 2 \mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{y}}$$
