Tetrahedral carbon atom and an explanation of a great bit of organic chemistry." So, in 1931, I had a simple theory of the Towards the four corners of a tetrahedron. The first result I got was that the best bonds that the carbon atom can form are directed This permitted rather simple calculations to be made in a straightforward manner. Permit us to combine these functions from the Schrödinger equation in another way.'Īnd I said to myself: 'Let’s suppose that I look just at the distribution in variousĭirections, and not worry about the difference in the radial distribution for those.' I thought 'the basic principles of quantum mechanics

Was confirmed that had been accepted earlier, that the four outer electrons in theĬarbon are of two different kinds. When quantum mechanics came along, a result Of methane, in which I said the four outer electrons of the carbon are in orbits directed Even as early as 1924, I had made a model I was trying to understand why the carbon atom is tetrahedral, forms bonds directed It was the basic idea of hybrid orbitals. I believe that much information regarding the nature of the chemical This work should be continuedĮxperimentally. Wave mechanics by means of the X-ray study of crystals.
