Recent research which is presently a hot topic in physical chemistry has shown that for a truly comprehensive understanding of chiral molecules the electroweak interactions must be considered which comprise the weak force as well as the electrostatic force: M.

20. It is important to realize that many fundamental concepts such as the Lewis electron-pair model for covalent bonding have been introduced before modern quantum theory was developed and applied to chemistry. For a discussion of the history and the application of the Lewis electron-pair model see the special issue devoted to the topic 90 Years of Chemical Bonding: J. Comput. Chem. 2007, 28, issue 1.
