Understanding the nature of the chemical bond is the key to understanding all chemistry, be it inorganic, physical, organic or biochemistry. This book takes the form of a question and answer tutorial and explores the fundamental concepts of chemical bonding. These range from the nature of the chemical bond, via the regular hexagonal structure of benzene and the nature of the metallic bond. The book offers an approach to quantum chemistry and is based on on the lectures of Professor Jeremy Burdett.
