Valence and the Structure of Atoms and Molecules

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Valence and the Structure of Atoms and Molecules' is a foundational masterpiece of modern chemistry written by the pioneering physical chemist Gilbert Newton Lewis. This seminal text revolutionized the scientific understanding of chemical bonding and molecular geometry. Lewis introduces the groundbreaking concept of the electron-pair bond, a cornerstone of chemical theory that explains how atoms combine to form stable molecules. Through detailed analysis, the work explores the electronic structure of the atom, the nature of valence, and the distribution of electrons within molecular frameworks. Recognized for introducing what are now known as 'Lewis structures,' the book provides a systematic approach to visualizing the arrangement of electrons, which remains a fundamental tool for students and professional chemists alike. Lewis's insights bridged the gap between physics and chemistry during a period of rapid discovery, laying the groundwork for subsequent developments in quantum chemistry. This work is essential for anyone interested in the history of science, the evolution of atomic theory, or the fundamental principles that govern the physical world. Its clear exposition and visionary ideas continue to resonate, marking it as one of the most influential scientific publications of the twentieth century.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
