Abstract

Cahn, in his News and Views article1, wondered why an arsenic-boron pair is best suited to ‘stuff’ a double vacancy in the crystal lattice in preference to a pair of boron atoms or arsenic atoms. The answer can be found if to describe bonding Linnett's model2 for the covalent chemical bond is used. This is a generalization of the electron-pair idea which incorporates the Pauli and Ruedenberg principles and accounts well for molecular structures without resonance or configuration interaction.
