1 BONDING OF QUANTUM PHYSICS WITH QUANTUM CHEMISTRY  

The bond that developed between quantum physics and quantum chemistry, that led to the award of a big chemistry prize to the physicist Walter Kohn in 1998, developed not without trial. Here I give an account of it. An element in this bond has been a friendship between Walter Kohn and me. My having reached 80 first, he has already kindly spoken of this [1], Now it is my turn. 

In the 20s and early 30s there was a flush of successes in establishing the ability of quantum mechanics to describe the simplest molecules accurately the Bom-Oppenheimer approximation, the nature of chemical bonding, and the fundamentals
