The most important of the current quantum‐mechanical models of solids can be divided into one‐electron (band) models and incomplete polyelectron theories. There are no complete polyelectron theories at present. However, the interatomic exchange forces become less important in lattices with high coordination numbers; a theory of metallic phases can therefore be developed, in principle, on the basis that the antisymmetrization is only local in atoms or groups of atoms.
