abstract={The structure and bonding of the hydrides of boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen are described using the concepts of the valence state and hybrid atomic orbitals. The tetrahedral arrangement of orbitals in CH<SUB>4</SUB>, NH<SUB>3</SUB> and H<SUB>2</SUB>O is explained. A rationalization is proposed for the unique bridged structure of diborane B<SUB>2</SUB>H<SUB>6</SUB>.},
