Abstract

A certain type of classical nonlinear field theory of chemical bonding has been proposed. The interaction between two neighboring atoms is assumed to be nonlinear. The coupled field equations are decoupled applying the methods of parametrization. The field energy associated with the coupled field has been determined perturbation theoretically. The chemical bonding energy equivalent to the change of field energy due to the coupling has been expressed in a closed form. The bonding energies of the molecules Li~2~, Na~2~, and K~2~ are evaluated.
