Popis: A semi-empirical method for detemining structural stability in molecules and in certain solids is presented. The method is related to the resonance energy concept of HMO theory. A general topological stability index is defined and shown to be well correlated with molecular properties. The stability of graphite, reconstruction of the Si(111) surface, and the problem of metallic hydrogen are discussed in connection with this topological index.
