Abstract
Since Coulson's Tilden Lecture in 1951 there have been many developments in ideas about the chemical bond and about molecular structure. One aspect of those developments is considered here from a quantum mechanical standpoint. The conclusion reached is one of qualified pessimism about the extent to which it is possible to account for bonding and molecular structure (as perceived by the working chemist) from a quantum mechanical point of view.
