Answer:

Valence bond theory introduced five new concepts in chemical bonding as follows:

(1) Delocalisation of electron over the two nuclei.

(2) Shielding effect of electrons

(3) Covalent character of bond

(4) Partial ionic character of a covalent bond

(5) The concept of resonance and corelation between resonance energy and molecular stability
