Abstract
The physical origin of chemical bonding, ionic and covalent, is reviewed. It is re-emphasized that the striving for the noble gas configuration is not the driving force for chemical interactions, but rather is the outcome of various factors that govern the conduct of the chemical elements with one another.

W. H. Eugen Schwarz, Ronald L. RichJournal of Chemical Education2010 87 (4), 435-443Long-standing questions on the theoretical basis of the periodic system have been answered in recent years. A specific type of periodicity is imposed on all elements by the main groups just before and after the noble gasses. The upper np shells of these ...
