TL;DR: The formulation of resonance theory as it is practiced today is explicated in the well-known books by Pauling and Wheland as discussed by the authors, and the results of these texts show that resonance theory are so drastic that many theoreticians are loathe to ascribe validity to the less rigorous method.

Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address a common criticism to undergraduate inorganic chemistry: namely that there are relatively few underlying concepts that tie descriptive chemistry together, and describe a laboratory activity that can be performed that provides an illustration of one such concept.

Journal Article•DOI•
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed derivation of the absolute rate theory expression for a bimolecular gas phase reaction is presented with special attention to clearly explaining all assumptions, where conformations of the reactant pairs lie close to the critical surface and have close to their equilibrium populations.
Abstract: A detailed derivation of the absolute rate theory expression for a bimolecular gas phase reaction is presented with special attention to clearly explaining all assumptions. In the case of activated complexes, conformations of the reactant pairs lie close to the critical surface and have close to their equilibrium populations. (DDA)

TL;DR: The basic ingredients of a scientific education are discussed in this paper. But they do not specify which knowledge is most important for students, and they leave professors to think carefully about which knowledge should be most important to students.
Abstract: There has been an enormous explosion of scientific information in recent years. This leaves professors to think carefully about which knowledge is most important for students. What are the basic ingredients of a scientific education?
