Abstract

As a step towards an understanding of chemical bonds in diatomic molecules which contain unlike atoms, a theory of paired electrons in the presence of two unlike attractive centres has been worked out. The essential feature of the method is that the field of these centres is expressed as a sum of two fields, one of which is symmetrical and the other antisymmetrical in the plane midway between the two centres. A formal solution having been provided in earlier papers for the wave functions and energies of two electrons in the symmetrical part of the field, this is used as a basis for a perturbation method to calculate the effect of the antisymmetric part of the field.
