Type and Degree of Covalence: Empirical Derivation and Implications

Yevgeny Rakita, Thomas Kirchartz, Gary Hodes +1

The way atoms attach to each other defines the function(s), e.g., mechanical, optical, electronic, of a given material. The nature of the chemical bond is, therefore, one of the mo…
