contents Previously, it was predicted that the parity-violating energy difference (PVED) between enantiomers and the molecular electron chirality (MEC), which is the integrated value of the electron chirality density over the entire molecule are enhanced for ionization or electronic excitation. Following the confirmation of the enhancement of the PVED by electronic excitation in our previous papers, the present work confirms that electronic excitation enhances the MEC for H$_2$Te$_2$ and H$_2$Se$_2$. The PVED in the first excited state is explained by the contribution from the highest occupied molecular orbital if the PVED contribution from the highest occupied molecular orbital in the ground state dominates over any other contributions. In this paper, it is checked whether this explanation can also be applicable to the MEC. It is also reported that the MEC is not the simple sum of contributions from each atom and the mixing by the superposition between atomic orbitals of different atoms is important.
