Valence Bond Theory: Proposed by Heitler, London. Developed by Pauling, Slater.

Formed due to overlapping of half filled valence shell orbitals.

Density of shared electron pair is concentrated ,ostly on internuclear axis

Strength of bond ∝ Extent of overlap

Along INA leads to σ bond

Perpendicular to INA lead to π bond

Strong

Weak

Types of Bonds

Ionic: Formed by transfer of electrons between low IP atom and high EA atom
