The physical meaning of the so-called effective pairs which have been introduced recently within the formalism of pair population analysis is discussed using the analysis of conditional probabilities of electron density distribution for electron 1 with the reference electron fixed in a certain point 2. It is demonstrated that from the point of view of the mutual coupling of electron motions, the effective pairs behave analogously to singlet pairs. Based on this finding, effective pairs can be interpreted as the fraction of singlet pairs that is directly involved in bonding.

The recently proposed population analysis of pair densities is applied to the investigation of molecular structure of several simple molecules. The values of pairon populations straightforwardly reproduce the classical structural formula including the multiplicity of the bonds and provide thus the so far missing link between quantum chemical and Lewis's classical picture of bonding. As demonstrated, the formalism of the proposed approach provides strong theoretical evidence for the frequently expected but so far elusive role of electron pairing in chemical bonding.

A material irradiated with electrons emits x-rays having energies characteristic of the elements present. Chemical combination between elements results in a small shift of the peak energies of these characteristic x-rays because chemical bonds between different elements have different energies. The energy differences of the characteristic x-rays resulting from valence electron transitions can be used to identify the chemical species present and to obtain information about the chemical bond itself. Although these peak-energy shifts have been well known for a number of years, their use for chemical-species identification in small volumes of material was not realized until the development of the electron microprobe.
