$\begingroup$ you can get some estimates on bond strengths (in simple cases), which might be useful for ordering bond orders/strengths (the classical literature on metal. On the other hand, running a valence bond type calculation would require some careful tuning of the settings The sigma, pi and double pi bonds contribute increasingly to the overall bond order (max individual bond order is 1) as the atoms get closer together

For simplicity i am leaving out the corrections.
Can i estimate the bond energy by running a single gaussian calculation of the fragments at very long separation (say, 40 angstroms)
Or do i have to calculate each fragment. Bond length is calculated by using atomic positions and lattice parameters Ionic or covalent size do not matter, the distance will be always the same because it is between the. For example, by extracting only the hydrogen bond between two certain atoms, and therefore you have 0 for no bond and 1 for hydrogen bond between these two atoms.
After having relaxed cell parameters and relaxed atomic positions, now you.
