Abstract

Context

This article intends to show a new way to setup and solve chemical bonds which can be incorporated into molecules. The new approach is analytical and purely based on simple math and science. We need analytical methods in our molecular theory which can be used to obtain results with our eyes open to the process. The utilization of computer software is fine as long as the user understands what the software is exactly doing. An analytical molecular theory can be utilized in different areas of science including chemistry. It can be also an asset in classrooms to better train our future generations, making them better “thinkers” and ready to tackle the complicated issues in our changing world. This article first introduces a new analytical approach to study chemical bonds and then goes through several examples of chemical bonds to show the applicability of the suggested approach.

Methods

All of the calculations and figures presented in this article are done by the use of Microsoft excel spreadsheet. The presented approach does not need any sophisticated software and/or heavy computations.
