Abstract
As there are notably few text-books available dealing primarily with modern valency theory, a concise handbook is more than welcome. The object of the present monograph is “to explain in simple language the view-point of quantum mechanics on valency and related topics such as the architecture of molecules and the activation energies of simple reactions”.
