Dear student
 
You can use Molecular orbital diagrams for the same.
Hope it helps

Molecular orbital theory for hetroatomic molecules is slightly different from homoatomic molecules. In homoatomic molecules both atoms are of same atoms so there energy is also same but in hetroatomic molecules energy of different atoms is different .Atoms having lower atomic mass have high energy . However MOT is basically used to calculate bond order . For above given molecules the result is same if we solve it as homoatomic or hetroatomic but it is different for carbon monoxide
