A rigorous theory of valence
Abstract
Many sciences are described by two conceptually different but complementary theories, one visual and insightful the other better suited to computation. Chemistry has a powerful computational theory in quantum mechanics, but its visual and insightful theory of valence has never been properly developed. The rigorous theory of valence described here takes the atom as its fundamental particle. As the theory has no knowledge of the atom’s internal …
