Bond Valence Model

The properties of the chemical bond are the same as those of the electrostatic flux that links the cores of two bonded atoms via their bonding electrons. Both the bond and the flux depend only on the number of electrons that form the bond, and significantly, neither depends on how the electron density is distributed. This allows the rules of chemical bonding to be developed using classical electrostatic theory without the need to know how the electron density is distributed. The magnitude of the flux is equal to the bond order (bond valence) and hence correlates with the bond length [1]. A network of bonds is equivalent to a capacitive electric circuit which allows one to predict the bond fluxes, hence also the bond lengths. Bond angles are determined by the spherical symmetry of the flux around each atom, and the resulting bonding geometry can be predicted using little more than a pocket calculator. The rules of all the predictive bond models: the VSEPR model, the ionic model, the covalent bond model and the bond valence model can be derived using classical electrostatics without introducing problematic concepts such as hypervalency, dative bonding, hybridization and the dichotomy between ionic and covalent bonding, thus eliminating the paradoxes created by the physically questionable Lewis and orbital models. Quantum effects are rarely important except in the transition metals where in some cases they perturb the bonding geometry.

Chemical Content

<p>Chemical bond plays a central role in the description of the physicochemical properties of molecules and solids and it is essential to several fields in science and engineering, governing the material’s mechanical, electrical, catalytic and optoelectronic properties, among others. Due to this indisputable importance, a proper description of chemical bond is needed, commonly obtained through solving the Schrödinger equation of the system with either molecular orbital theory (molecules) or band theory (solids). However, connecting these seemingly different concepts is not a straightforward task for students and there is a gap in the available textbooks concerning this subject. This work presents a chemical content to be added in the physical chemistry undergraduate courses, in which the framework of molecular orbitals was used to qualitatively explain the standard state of the chemical elements and some properties of the resulting material, such as gas or crystalline solids. Here in Part 1, we were able to show the transition from Van der Waals clusters to metal in alkali and alkaline earth systems. In Part 2 and 3 of this three-part work, the present framework is applied to main group elements and transition metals. The original content discussed here can be adapted and incorporated in undergraduate and graduate physical chemistry and/or materials science textbooks and also serves as a conceptual guide to subsequent disciplines such as quantum chemistry, quantum mechanics and solid-state physics.</p>
