It follows that the F-F bond owes its existence to the covalent-ionic fluctuation of the electron-pair even though its static charge is zero.
F-F is a “covalent bond” of a special type: a “charge-shift bond”

• There is a bond !- low heat of formation
all of the arguments put forward for the existence of a central bond in [1.1.1] propellane can be matched with a counterargument, except for the heat of formation

• A category of its own
- Revealed by VB
- Confirmed by electron densities
• Some experimental manifestations• A wide domain
- bonding in cage molecules (some short, some long…)
- Some M-M bond in organometallics
- many bonds involving silicon
- many hypervalent compounds
