    "abstract": "The de Broglie-Bohm ontological interpretation of quantum theory clarifies\nthe understanding of many otherwise counter-intuitive quantum mechanical\nphenomena. We report here on an application of Bohm\u0027s quantum potential to the\nbonding and reactivity of small molecules.\n  In the field of quantum chemistry, Bader has shown that the topology of the\nLaplacian of the electronic charge density characterizes many features of\nmolecular structure and reactivity. Examination of high accuracy ab-initio\nsolutions for several small molecules suggests that the Laplacian of Bader and\nthe quantum potential of Bohm are structurally equivalent. It is possible that\nBohmian mechanics using the quantum potential can make quantum chemistry as\nclear as it makes non-relativistic quantum mechanics.",
