Ruedenberg’s approach to bonding in H2+ is applied to the two-electron covalent bond in H2. A simplified analysis yields the same conclusion as Ruedenberg’s more rigorous treatment; kinetic energy plays a crucial role in chemical bond formation.

Chemical Bonds-Interaction Between Atoms
A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms that enables the formation of chemical compounds. The bond may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between atoms with opposite…
Covalent bonds are created by the drive of electron waves to lower their kinetic energy through expansion.
An analysis based on the variation principle shows that in the molecules H2 (+), H2, B2, C2, N2, O2, F2, covalent bonding is driven by the attenuation of the kinetic energy that results from the…
1 The Physical Origin of Covalent Bonding
Up to about the seventeenth century atomists believed that there were mechanical hookups between atoms. Toward the end of that century Isaac Newton surmised that, analogous to the gravitational…
On the Covalent vs. Charge-Shift Nature of the Metal-Metal Bond in Transition Metal Complexes: A Unified Understanding.
TLDR
These considerations create a generalized paradigm for M-M bonding in the transition-elements periods, and Pauli repulsion emerges as the factor that unifies CSB over the periods of main-group and transition elements.
Teaching Structural Physical Chemistry Using Adequate Strategies
Within this study we propose a few examples of student-centred exercises to be used when applying in teaching and learning structural physical chemistry. These exercises imply to compute the bond…
Harnessing the catalytic transfer of magnetism
In this thesis the research concentrates on NMR and MRI applications of the recently established hyperpolarisation technique, SABRE. Hyperpolarisation is a technique for generating enhanced magnetic…
Teaching chemical bonding through jigsaw cooperative learning
This study examined the effectiveness of jigsaw cooperative learning in teaching chemical bonding at tertiary level. This study was carried out in two different classes in the Department of Primary…
Three-Scale Finite Element Discretizations for Quantum Eigenvalue Problems
Based on globally and locally coupled discretizations, some three-scale finite element schemes are proposed in this paper for a class of quantum eigenvalue problems. It is shown that the solution of…
