摘要

The AdNDP model of chemical bonding combines Lewis-type valence bonds with multi-center molecular orbital analysis. The question is addressed to what extent it offers an understanding of the delocalized bonding in the exploding area of pure boron sheets and clusters. It is argued that such understanding cannot be reached without invoking resonance. A vibronic definition of resonance is proposed, and its connection to the Rabi toy model is discussed.
