Title: The Nature of the Binding in Hydride Molecules
Authors: Keaveny, Ian Terence
Advisor: Bader, R. F. W.
Department: Chemistry
Keywords: chemistry;binding;hydride molecule;hybridisation; bond polarity;one-electron charge distribution;electronic forces;Hartree-Fock wave function;first-row diatomic hydride
Publication Date: Oct-1967
Abstract: <p> In Part I the one-electron charge distribution in the water molecule is obtained by demanding that this distribution balance the nuclear forces of repulsion and reproduce the observed dipole moment. Parameters contained in the molecular orbital description are then related to such concepts as hybridisation and bond polarities. </p> <p> In Part II the electronic forces of attraction and the one-electron charge distribution, calculated from near Hartree-Fock wave functions, are used to interpret the binding in the first-row diatomic hydrides. </p>
