Dinitrogen monoxide (N₂O) supports combustion in a manner similar to oxygen, with the nitrogen atoms forming N₂. Draw three resonance structures for N₂O (one N is central), and use formal charges to decide the relative importance of each. What correlation can you suggest between the most important structure and the observation that N₂O supports combustion?

The quantum mechanical description of the chemical bond is generally given in terms of delocalized bonding orbitals, or, alternatively, in terms of correlations of occupations of localised orbitals.

However, in the latter case, multiorbital correlations were treated only in terms of two-orbital correlations, although the structure of multiorbital correlations is far richer; and, in the case of bonds established by more than two electrons, multiorbital correlations represent a more natural point of view.

Since quantum theory is a probabilistic theory, it is not surprising that using concepts of quantum information theory turns out to be fruitful in several fields of research in which quantum theory is involved. Maybe the most important notion in a probabilistic theory is correlation, and, in quantum systems, also entanglement. Taking their investigation as a guiding principle has already led to important achievements in several fields of research, recently also in quantum chemistry.
