In presenting a qualitative theory of chemical bonding stressing the physical processes that occur on bond formation, this text differs from many others in that it does not aim to "rationalise" the phenomena of bonding by a series of mnemonic rules. The author aims for a unified and consistent treatment across all types of bonding in organic, physical and inorganic chemistry.
