If the structure of a compound is known, the empirical bond valence - bond length correlation of Eq. 2 can be used to estimate the bond valences from their observed bond lengths. Eq. 1 can then be used to check that the structure is chemically valid; any deviation between the atomic valence and the bond valence sum needs to be accounted for.
In valence bond theory, however, the generated structures are not necessarily orthogonal with each other, and oftentimes have substantial overlap between the two structures. As such, when considering non-orthogonal constituent orbitals (i.e. orbitals with non-zero overlap) the non-diagonal terms in the overlap matrix would be non-zero, and must ...
The main insight of the AKLT paper was that this construction could be generalized to obtain exactly solvable models for spin sizes other than 1/2. Just as one end of a valence bond is a spin 1/2, the ends of two valence bonds can be combined into a spin 1, three into a spin 3/2, etc.
Abegg's rule is sometimes referred to as "Abegg’s law of valence and countervalence". In general, for a given chemical element (as sulfur) Abegg's rule states that the sum of the absolute value of its negative valence (such as −2 for sulfur in H 2 S and its positive valence of maximum value (as +6 for sulfur in H 2 SO 4) is often equal to 8.
In some molecules, there is a difference between valence and oxidation state for a given atom. For example, in disulfur decafluoride molecule S 2 F 10, each sulfur atom has 6 valence bonds (5 single bonds with fluorine atoms and 1 single bond with the other sulfur atom). Thus, each sulfur atom is hexavalent or has valence 6, but has oxidation ...
A valence bond structure resembles a Lewis structure, but when a molecule cannot be fully represented by a single Lewis structure, multiple valence bond structures are used. Each of these VB structures represents a specific Lewis structure. This combination of valence bond structures is the main point of resonance theory.
For a given cation, Pauling defined [2] the electrostatic bond strength to each coordinated anion as =, where z is the cation charge and ν is the cation coordination number. A stable ionic structure is arranged to preserve local electroneutrality , so that the sum of the strengths of the electrostatic bonds to an anion equals the charge on ...
In this molecule, 24 of the 30 total valence bonding electrons – 24 coming from carbon atoms and 6 coming from hydrogen atoms – are located in 12 σ (sigma) bonding orbitals, which are located mostly between pairs of atoms (C–C or C–H), similarly to the electrons in the valence bond description.
