For ground-state N₂⁺ with z as bond axis, count OCCUPIED MOs having the midpoint xy plane as a node. Include core MOs, ignore radial nodes, and count each orbital once irrespective of occupancy.

Answer:
2
Solution:

Occupied σ*₁ₛ and σ*₂ₛ have the transverse xy node. Occupied π₂ₚ orbitals have axis-containing nodes; bonding σ₂ₚ has no midpoint node. No π* is occupied. Count 2.
