Revision of Quantum Chemistry Valence Formulas based on Density Matrix Analysis
Valence is a fundamental yet ambiguously defined concept in chemistry, playing a central role in the description of molecular structure, bonding, and reactivity. This thesis examines the quantum mechanical Veryazov valence formula (referred to as the original formula), which determines atomic valence based on density matrix analysis. The aim of this work is to assess the robustness of this valence
