Linked from

The 31 pages that link to Valence bond theory, each with the reason it gives.

• Chemical bondCompared with: Its localized orbital picture complements molecular orbital theory's delocalized account.

• Molecular orbital theoryCompared with: It localizes bonds where molecular orbital theory treats electrons as molecule-wide states.

• Coordination complexCompared with: Its localized hybrid-orbital account contrasts with crystal-field and molecular-orbital treatments of complexes.

• Molecular orbitalCompared with: Unlike molecular orbital theory, it emphasizes localized bonds rather than orbitals spread across the molecule.

• Crystal field theoryCompared with: Its hybridization and bonding account differs from crystal field theory’s electrostatic splitting model.

• Aufbau principleCompared with: Its bonding picture emphasizes localized orbitals rather than a sequence of atomic orbital filling.

• Bond orderCompared with: It often assigns integer bond orders through localized single, double, and triple bonds.

• Frontier molecular orbital theoryCompared with: Its localized-bond perspective differs from the delocalized molecular orbitals central to this theory.

• VSEPR theoryCompared with: It accounts for bonding through orbital overlap rather than relying on domain repulsions alone.

• Hypervalent moleculeCompared with: Its traditional expanded-orbital account of hypervalency contrasts with delocalized molecular-orbital explanations.

• Linear combination of atomic orbitalsCompared with: It builds bonds from localized structures rather than primarily delocalized molecular orbitals.

• Robert S. MullikenCompared with: Its localized bonds contrast with Mulliken’s orbitals spread over entire molecules.

• HSAB theoryCompared with: Its orbital-overlap account supplies a different description of bond formation.

• Atomic and molecular structureCompared with: It offers a localized-bond picture distinct from molecular orbitals spread across a molecule.
