Chemistry and physics interacted considerably on the problem of chemical bond during the early twentieth century. Among them, the influence of the theory put forward by American chemist Pauling in the early 1930s is the most significant. Pauling's work had several origins from both chemistry and physics, ranging from classical structural chemistry in late nineteenth century to quantum mechanics just articulated then, and those training him directly including the chemical bond theory of Lewis, X-ray crystallography, and physical chemistry. Physical origins have more prominent influence than chemical, while both sorts regard experiment, and theoretical aspects show more convergence to the empirical than the reverse.
