The resulting principle is that a special stability is associated with the simplest ratios or " bond numbers " :,,,,, etc . The choice of structure and the value of the axial ratio ( which determines the relative bond lengths ) are thus a result of the effort of an atom to use its valency in the formation of stable bonds with simple fractional bond numbers.
