Solution

Molecular orbital theory can be applied to hetero-nuclear diatomic molecules if the atomic numbers of the two atoms in the molecule differ by one or two atomic numbers. For example, MO theory can be applied to NO and CO molecules. When two atoms differ by one or two atomic numbers then the energy levels of these two atoms are identical which allows for significant overlap.
