The Chemical Bond is a Real Pattern
Philosophy of Science:1-47 (forthcoming)
Abstract
There is a persisting debate about what chemical bonds are and whether they exist. I argue that chemical bonds are real patterns of interactions between subatomic particles. This proposal resolves the problems raised in the context of existing understandings of the chemical bond and provides a novel way to defend the reality of chemical bonds.Author's Profile
