Pauli Repulsions Exist Only in the Eye of the Beholder
Richard F. W. Bader*
Abstract:
This paper presents a rebut-tal to the preceding paper in this issueentitled “Hydrogen-Hydrogen Bondingin Planar Biphenyl, Predicted byAtoms-In-Molecules Theory, Does NotExist”. The arguments presented there-in are based on an arbitrary partition-ing of the energy into contributionsfrom physically unrealizable states ofthe system. The response given here ispresented in terms of the Feynman,Ehrenfest, and virial theorems of quan-tum mechanics and the observableproperties of a system. Areader is thusfree to choose between subjectivity orphysics.
