	<b>I. Carbon</b>, A new model for atomic structure is proposed in which there is an integral relation between the nuclear geometry and covalent molecular geometry.

Balasubramanian is a retired researcher living in Pune, Maharashtra, India. Over several decades he developed and privately circulated a model of atomic structure that departs from mainstream quantum theory. His manuscripts were submitted to established chemistry journals but were not accepted for publication because they questioned the fundamental assumptions of current chemical theory rather than reporting conventional experimental discoveries.

	<b>III. Boron</b>, Our work on Boron is complete but the documentation and preparation of the paper are not. Hence the following comments are offered to show the scope of the model. The presentation should be considered tentative and is not ready for publication.		==Scientific contributions==

According to the model, the known geometry of a number of covalent molecules can be explained, the inverted bond is accounted for, and additional bonding types are permitted: a new type of double bond with tetrahedral geometry, and a new triple bond, termed the benzyne triple bond, that is said to display cis–trans isomerism. The model has been extended in a series of three papers to the atomic structures of carbon, silicon and boron.
