Abstract
The statement about the existence of He-C bonds in the inclusion complex of He in adamantane He@adam was studied. The scientific activity with the exotic compound is important and worthwhile for chemistry because it leads to a deeper understanding of the behavior of atoms in a molecule and the nature of the interatomic forces which are grounded in elementary laws of physics. The physical view of chemical bonding advocated by Bader and Fang is more sound and goes in depth when it comes to fundamental laws of physics than the chemical view of Strenalyuk and Haaland, which is based on the pragmatic approach that is typical for chemistry. The atomic partial charges are frequently used to estimate the nature of the ionic contribution to the interatomic interactions.
