Quantum chemistry has developed into a mature and complete discipline nowadays. German theoretical physicist Friedrich Hermann Hund (1896-1997) have laid the groundwork for the establishment and development of quantum chemistry because of his work on the electronic structure of atoms and molecules. Hund have been called one of the founding fathers of modern molecular orbital theory. He is known in the chemistry community for two major contributions:(a) Hund's rules, (b) molecular orbital (MO) theory. This paper introduces the life of Hund, and describes in detail his scientific research process on Hund's rules and molecular orbital theory.
