The present text is a rational analysis of the concept of the
chemical bond by means of the principles of wave mechanics. The
discussion of the material has been arranged so as to render its
main content comprehensible for readers who may not have had
pre"ious training in quantum mechanics. The text comprises three
major parts. It begins with an exposition of the fundamental ideas.
In this section the principles are reviewed from which de Broglie
developed his mechanics; this allows the book to be read by
chemistry majors and freshmen alike. However, we believe that it
may also be of interest to university-and college teachers who must
include certain aspects of quantum chemistry into their courses
while being insufficiently familiar with the subject. It may even
be of interest to science teachers in secondary schools. Finally,
having been a witness to the evolution of these notions for over a
quarter of a century, we present certain concepts from a particular
point of view which might prove attractive to chemists of all
kinds, perhaps even quantum chemists. The second, more technical
part summarizes the methods of constructing wave functions that
describe the electrons in molecules. This section can only be fully
appreciated by those readers who are familiar with some aspects of
the algorithms used in quantum mechanics.
