About this title

Synopsis

Challenges conventional theories and breaks the code of chemical bonding by examining seeming paradoxes in the literature and resolving known inconsistencies between accepted models and empirical data. DLC: Valence (Theoretical chemistry)

From the Publisher

In this book, the author challenges conventional theories of chemical bonding. Building on his insight that electron-electron repulsion is the single crucial variable that differentiates one chemical system from another, Epiotis formulates, explains, and applies a new approach based on nonorthogonal valence bond methodology. New theory means new formulae, and this work is about new chemical formulae that lead to the self-consistent rationalization of existing facts and, even more important, the design of new chemistry.
