14. Values for the covalent radius of oxygen ranging from 74 to 65 pm have been proposed, as has been discussed in detail in ref 19. The covalem radius of silicon is 117 pm (ref 2).

37. In the more covalent molecules, the bonding CCs appear as (3, -1) critical points because one of the three curvatures in L has a small positive value. However, in Figure 1, these (3, -1) critical points appear as maxima because the small positive curvature is in tbe direction perpendicular to the molecular plane.
