abstract
Along with the doctrine of atomism, the electron theory of valance ranks as one of the most fundamental developments in the history of modern chemistry. Yet, because the problems this theory solved were difficult ones, the modern understanding of electron bonding came only slowly and only after the minor contributions of many scientists and the major contributions of a few.
