Configuration interaction of low-lying electronic states is used to investigate the molecular correlation energy as a function of bond angle. Qualitative aspects of the problem are discussed using the molecular-orbital diagrams of Walsh and Mulliken. Results of configuration-interaction calculations of BeH2 and NO2+ are reported. The possibility of double minima in the potential surfaces for AB2 molecules is considered.
