Reads like an advanced chemistry textbook. --Fang Aili 04:47, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

I have moved the { technical } tag to the article, instead of the discussion page. It will be more useful there, since the discussion isn't technical at all.

[edit] whats unverifiable

[edit] Should we move this article

It makes sense (to me) to move/merge this thing with hypervalent molecule. Comments?--Smokefoot 19:10, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I think it's better as a separate article, because it is a reasonably self-contained topic that we might want to link to from other articles (for example, contrasting it with the 3c-2e bond). In hypervalent molecule, it would just be a subtopic, so it would not be cleanly linkable (I personally hate links that take me to the middle of a page, and even worse, links that take me to the top of a page that doesn't seem to be about what I expected).

[edit] Figure

Thanks for adding the figure, it looks really nice. I wanted to add one myself, but didn't have time. The only thing I'm not sure is right is the label of the HOMO as "bonding". I've typically seen it as "nonbonding"; for example, in Greenwood. I noticed that you also removed the mention of nonbonding from the main text; is there a strong reason for it?

Oh gosh, you are correct, I meant NB. --Smokefoot 20:32, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
