What Does VB Stand For?
VB stands for Valence Bond
Valence Bond (VB) theory is a fundamental concept in quantum chemistry that describes the formation of chemical bonds between atoms through the overlap of atomic orbitals. This theory posits that a covalent bond is formed when the electron clouds of two atoms overlap, allowing their electrons to be shared. VB theory provides insight into molecular structures, bond characteristics, and the energetic interactions that stabilize molecules, making it a key tool for understanding chemical reactivity and the behavior of complex systems.
