The potential surfaces for bond ruptures in Ha, CH4, and C2He are examined in their reducedenergy forms. For CH bond rupture in methane, the 6-31G\*\* reduced energies found at the two-confguration SCF level are nearly identical to previously published higher-level treatments. It is shown that reduc

✦ Synopsis
The simplest prototypical hydrogen transfer reaction, i.e., H + H, + H, + H, is studied by the quantum-mechanical ab initio methods. Results reveal that during this reaction free valence which almost equals the square of the spin density develops on the migrating hydrogen atom. Bond orders are calculated using Mayer's formalism. Both the variations of bond orders and bond lengths along the reaction path are examined. Our analysis reveals that the bond formation and bond cleavage processes in this reaction are not perfectly synchronous. The bond cleavage process is slightly more advanced on the reaction path. 0 1996
