AB INITIO VALENCE BOND CALCULATIONS USING
A GAUSSIAN BASIS SET: ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE OF POLYATOMIC MOLECULES (1995)

by Carl Peterson

     This book is about the valence bond theoretical calculations of the
polyatomic molecule H2O, where the position of electrons in a molecule
are to a good approximation described by atomic orbitals. In this method
the starting point is the atoms that form the molecule pairs with the
unpaired electrons to form chemical bonds. Each pairing process yields a
valence bond structure. The wave function obtained is known as a
resonance hybrid of the given structure.

      Carl Peterson (Ph.D., Ohio University) has served as Postdoc, Lecturer,
Visiting Professor, Adjunct Professor, Associate Professor and
Entrepreneur with more than 250 employees.  However, after working as
such he decided to become an independent scholar with the primary
purpose of breaking the hegemony of the Copenhagen interpretation
of quantum mechanics and advocating instead for David Bohm’s
ontological interpretation of quantum mechanics.
