1 Chemical Bonding of Main-Group Elements
@inproceedings{Kaupp20141CB, title={1 Chemical Bonding of Main-Group Elements}, author={M. Kaupp}, year={2014} }
Prior to any meaningful discussion of bonding in main-group chemistry, we have to provide a reasonably accurate definition of what a main-group element is. In general, we assume that main-group elements are those that essentially use only their valence s- and p-orbitals for chemical bonding. This leads to a number of borderline cases that require closer inspection. Assuming that the outer d-orbitals, that is, those with principal quantum number n equal to the period in question, are not true… CONTINUE READING
