Abstract
HVB theory represents the crudest form of VB theory. Nonetheless, because of the pictorial aspects of VB theory, HVB theory leads one to anticipate exactly how inclusion of classical terms which are neglected at this level of theory will modify the conclusions reached on the basis of HVB theory. Now, the performance of a complete VB analysis of a given problem is quite a cumbersome task made more undesirable by the fact that we seek “qualitative” rather than “quantitative” answers. Thus, we must identify an approximate form of VB theory which makes simple computations possible without serious loss of detail. Two candidates that come immediately to mind are the EHVB and NDO-VB theories.
