structures; a discussion of valcncc and the chcmical bond now must take
into account this information as well as the facts of chcmistry.
The rcfinmcnt of the electronic theory of valcncc into its present
form has been ducf almost entirely to the development of the theory of
quantum mechanics, which has not only provided a method for the
calculation of the properties of simple molcculcs, leading to the complete
elucidation of the phenomena involved in the formulation of a covalcnt
bond between two atoms and dispersing the veil of mystery that has
shrouded the bond during the dccadcs since its existence was first
assumed, but has also introduced into chcmical theory a new conccpt,
that o f resonance, which, if not entirely unanticipated in its applications
to chcmistry, nevertheless, has not before been clcarly rccognizcd and
understood.

1. Structural chcmistry hasn’t changed since the 19th ccntury. 2. The
pictures of molcculcs presented by modem chcmistry and classical
structural chcmistry arc not the same. 3. Electronic structures arc
investigated only by chcmical methods. 4. The development o f the theory
o f quantum mechanics affcctcd the refinement of the electronic theory.
5. A conccpt of rcsonancc was introduced in terms o f the theory of
quantum mechanics. 6. Application o f quantum mechanics enabled
scientists to develop a method for the calculation of the properties o f
simple molcculcs.
