Notes:
Formulation of the Schrödinger equation (1926) laid the foundation for a theory of the electronic structure of molecules, and thus for a physically sound theory of the homopolar chemical bond. Physicists reached a qualitative understanding of the bond in diatomic molecules during the ensuing years 1927 to 1929, and of stereochemistry by 1931.
