| Periodic Law, Lewis rules and resonance theory provided a possibility to systematize the elements, various chemical bonds, to draw in most cases the structural formulas of substances and to predict by analogy their physical and chemical characteristics. The next in order was the problem of the physical nature (mechanism) of the main chemical phenomena: chemical bond, chemical reactions and catalysis, and also all above mentioned laws and rules. Starting from nineteen thirties the traditional course of the chemical science was replaced by quantum-mechanical one which as we had shown already in 1980 basically was not capable and did not answer to the above questions. The principal question is the physical nature of chemical phenomena, laws, and rules, and the main initial point of the quantum-mechanics is concepts like Ø – function, spin, exchange energy, quantum numbers, orbitals, Pauli principle etc. possessing no physical sense. |
