Aug 19, 1994 · Linus Pauling: A Lifetime of Science The self-taught chemist. Linus Pauling's lifelong fascination with chemistry was ignited during childhood by a friend's chemistry set.

Dec 22, 2010 · Linus Pauling's book on bonding brought quantum mechanics into practical chemistry, finds Philip Ball.

The first edition of Prof. Pauling's work was published two years ago. Its well–merited popularity led to the exhaustion of the first edition, and a second has now been prepared.

Pauling rightly received his Nobel Prize for being so largely responsible for this. Now the third edition is in our hands. It is larger, though many of the older pages survive with little alteration.

Linus Pauling was born poor; he struggled at menial jobs to support himself at high school and while studying for a degree in chemical engineering at the Oregon Agricul tural College. All the …

Our electronegativities are dimensionless (instead of unusual units eV1/2 of Pauling’s elec-tronegativities), display intuitively correct trends across the per-iodic table, allow for reasonable ...

Linus Pauling's prediction of the α-helix, one of the greatest achievements in structural biology, was made by assuming (i) that the peptide bond is planar, (ii) that all amino acid residues are ...

Jun 21, 2018 · Michelle Francl dusts off Pauling’s notes on bonding to explore the illusory link between electron promotion and hybridization.

Alike in this field and in the theory, the book is in large measure a record of Prof. Pauling's personal contributions, and it will be assured of as permanent a place as its three …

Apr 7, 2021 · Pauling’s electronegativity scale has a fundamental value and uses accessible thermochemical data, but fails at predicting the bonding behavior for several elements. The …
