Apr 18, 2024 · Linus Pauling (born February 28, 1901, Portland, Oregon, U.S.—died August 19, 1994, Big Sur, California) was an American theoretical physical chemist who became the only person to have won two unshared Nobel Prize s. His first prize (1954) was awarded for research into the nature of the chemical bond and its use in elucidating molecular ...
Linus Carl Pauling was born in Portland, Oregon, on February 28, 1901. He received his early education in Oregon, finishing in 1922 with a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Oregon Agricultural College in Corvallis — now Oregon State University.
Since 1919 his interest lay in the field of molecular structure and the nature of the chemical bond, inspired by papers by Irving Langmuir on the application of the Lewis theory of the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms to many substances. In 1921 he suggested, and attempted to carry out, an experiment on the orientation of iron atoms ...
Linus Pauling (February 28, 1901- ) *, the only person who has won two undivided Nobel Prizes, 1 was born in Portland, Oregon, the son of a pharmacist, Henry H.W. Pauling, and Lucy (Darling) Pauling. He attended Washington High School in Portland but because of a technicality did not receive his diploma until 1962, long after he had received ...
Best known to the public for championing the use of vitamin C for health purposes and for winning the Nobel Peace Prize, Linus Carl Pauling (1901–1994) was revered by his fellow scientists as a prolific researcher who made significant contributions to our understanding of chemical bonding and chemical structure.
Pauling is probably best known for working out the nature of the chemical bond, yet he also discovered (among many other accomplishments) the cause of sickle cell anemia, developed an accurate ...
