Super Eddy

I will check out Quantum Chemistry and Computational Chemistry (thank you). Let me be more specific with the questions I have: 1) The Schrodinger wave equation was developed and solved before digital computers were available. Is it complete and would a better solution be nonlinear? 2) It is a fact that Krypton and Xenon can react with Florine yet the Quantum Mechanics equations say that this would be impossible. How can this be reconciled? 3) It is said that chemical bonds share electrons with each atom. Shouldn't this be better expressed by saying that a new wave function exists? 4) Can inter-molecular forces be better thought of as wave functions instead of van der Waals forces?

Quantum Chemistry seems like a good topic to check out (thank you). I'm concerned with the quantum mechanical model itself in that, with respect to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, the Schrodinger Wave equation is a probabilistic solution. Instead, maybe seek an equation that is deterministic but when constrained can yield position in one sense and energy in another sense. Have you read "Hacking Matter" by Wil McCarthy? Artificial atoms are very sensitive to the dimensions of the box that contains them and there seems to be no ability to make exact duplicates of each box. This is not a problem for natural atoms but it shows the severe dependence on the atom's potential well to determine the characteristic of the element in question.

Traditional quantum mechanics seems to come up short in respect to predicting chemical reactions and looking at the forces and motions of atoms and molecules. We need a way to reconcile physics and chemistry.
