Alright, I sure will. Thanks to you both for your insight, I can't wait to learn more concerning this topic. Chad

Thank you very much for your reply. It was a good qualitative explanation for what a chemical bond actually is, at the most fundamental level, and is precisely what I was hoping for. As for the book you recommended, is the title: The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vol. 3?

After several hours of searching the net and 5 books in my library, I am fairly certain I was thinking WAY too broadly in forming my question. I suppose in my defense though, I have nothing on quantum chemistry as of yet. In any case, what exactly is a chemical bond from the viewpoint of QM?

Chemical bonds and quantum entanglement I have a very basic understanding of quantum mechanics and chemistry, so please bear with any misunderstandings I may have. My question is this: what does QM have to do with the bonding between atoms in a molecule or compound? Can these bonds be labelled...
