39. 3). Therefore, the positions of nuclei correspond to (3, -3) critical points, and the presence of a bond is indicated by a (3, -1) bond critical point. The construct a molecular graph, critical points are linked by bond paths; bond paths correspond to lines along which the electron density is a maximum with respect to any neighboring line.
