Abstract It is shown how previously reported bond energy equations (Van Hooydonk, 1973) can be regenerated starting from the assumptions (i) that the valence-orbital energy of an element in a bond can be expressed as a function of its occupancy number (Iczkowski-Margrave, 1961) and (ii) that the potential around an atom in a bond vanishes as soon as its valence orbital is doubly occupied (Ferreira, 1963). The results are consistent with an ionic approximation to chemical bonding. A comparison of the approximations involved in the present theory with those in a semi-empirical LCAO -MO method (Klopman, 1964) is advanced.
