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

• Covalent bondRelated: Orbital overlap gives a quantum-mechanical account of localized shared pairs.

• Atomic orbitalRelated: It uses localized atomic-orbital overlap to explain covalent bonds.

• Lewis structureRelated: It supplies an orbital account of bonds that Lewis notation represents with lines.

• Pi bondRelated: This model treats a pi bond as direct overlap between unhybridized orbitals.

• Octet ruleRelated: It connects shared electron pairs in Lewis structures with orbital overlap.

• Coordinate covalent bondRelated: Orbital overlap explains why a donated pair becomes a shared bonding pair.

• Hybrid orbitalRelated: Hybrid orbitals give this theory a localized account of molecular geometry.

• Electron-deficient compoundRelated: Its localized bond picture highlights why some electron-poor structures resist simple bond-by-bond descriptions.

• Nitrosyl chlorideRelated: It provides one framework for describing NOCl’s bonding and molecular structure.

• Arrow pushingRelated: Its localized bond picture aligns closely with the electron pairs depicted in mechanisms.

• Double bond ruleRelated: Its localized-overlap picture is the framework in which the rule is commonly introduced.

• Orbital hybridisationRelated: Hybridisation is commonly used within this account of localized bonds.
