This reference on present VB conception and functions provides a realistic procedure that may be utilized to a number of chemical difficulties in a uniform demeanour. After explaining simple VB idea, it discusses VB functions to bonding difficulties, aromaticity and antiaromaticity, the dioxygen molecule, polyradicals, excited states, natural reactions, inorganic/organometallic reactions, photochemical reactions, and catalytic reactions. With a advisor for appearing VB calculations, routines and solutions, and various solved difficulties, this is often the prime reference for practitioners and upper-level scholars.
