What is Linus Pauling known for?

Answer 1

The Valence Bond Theory...explains the nature of a chemical bond in a molecule interms of atomic valencies. Valence Bond Theory summarizes the rule that the central atom in a molecule tends to form electron pair bonds in accordanet with geometric constraints as defined by the Oclet Rule, appoximately Valnece Bond Theory is closely related to the Molecular Orbital Theory.

Answer 2

Pauling introduced the concept of electronegativity in 1932. Using the various properties of molecules, such as the energy required to break bonds and the dipole moments of molecules, he established a scale and an associated numerical value for most of the elements, the Pauling Electronegativity Scale, which is useful in predicting the nature of bonds between atoms in molecules.

Answer 3

Linus Pauling is the only person to win a Nobel Prize unshared and he did that twice.
