AS REPORTEDno primary record reached; this is what the reporting says
Is it true that valence bond theory describes chemical bonding as the overlap of two separate atomic orbitals on different atoms that creates a region with one pair of shared electrons?
Yes. Valence bond theory describes chemical bonding as the overlapping of atomic orbitals from different atoms, resulting in a region that shares a pair of electrons.
