The continued success of the Bohr atom has led all physicists except the most cautious to attribute a certain reality to the physical concept underlying the theory; namely, that the atom is composed of electrons rotating in stable orbits about the positive nucleus. The determination of these stable orbits can be made, in those cases that are simple enough to permit mathematical treatment, by the application of the principles of the quantum theory, thus verifying the correctness of the dynamic atom, since the quantum theory has been widely used in the explanation of the most varied phenomena. Hence, in attempting to explain the chem-ical properties of substances on the basis of the structure of the atom it would seem desirable to assume the Bohr theory to be true, and to make only those changes and additionswhich are necessary andlogical extensions of the theory. This was the procedure followed by Knorr, 8 who first suggested andsupported the idea that in non-ionized molecules electrons are in motion in orbits about two atomicnuclei. Further evi-dence in support of Knorr’s views has since become available. The study of the structures of crystals has also provided valuable infor-mation regarding the nature of the chemical bond. In this paper the arguments in favor of the dynamic models of molecules are reviewed and crystal structure evidence is presented to show that in molecules or ions, atoms may have stable electronic arrangements other than those of the noble gases. Electronic structures of benzene and other aromatic com-pounds based on these conceptions are then suggested and briefly discussed.
