The chemist has not succeeded in doing this. Pauling himself proposed the scheme of orbital hybridization as a quantum theory of covalent interaction. Despite its uncritical acceptance for many years, this approach is shown by elementary reasoning to be in direct conflict with the fundamentals of quantum theory.
