Noble Gases: Linus Pauling

The unknown contained silver, as both the unknown and silver solutions turned red and formed red precipitates with the addition of potassium chromate.

-Rosetta Stone is discovered. -Charles Macintosh invented waterproof cloth. -Hans Ørsted finds aluminum.

Norman Lockyer and Edward Frankland propose that the gas detected in solar observations should be called 'helium'. Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch establish the germ theory of disease. 1970, In New York City, the first pneumatic- subway is

The noble gases are the gaseous elements helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon, in group 18 of the periodic table. Additionally, they are considered the most unreactive of the elements, due to the fact that the valence electrons are all “full”, thus making the group the most stable, as well. When it comes to the periodic trends, the noble gases have the some of the lowest densities because they are gaseous elements, meaning they state of matter consisting of particles that have neither a definite volume nor definite shape. The lack of electronegativity of the noble gasses is based off of their group, which already has a full outer shell, meaning they do not attract any electrons.

Linus Carl Pauling was born in February 28, 1901 in Portland Oregon to Belle and Herman Pauling. Herman was a druggist who worked for Skidmore Drug Company while Belle was a stay at home mom. He was not an only child but had a brother and sister, Francis Lucile Pauling (January 1, 1904) and Pauline Darling Pauling (August 7, 1902). In 1903 the Paulings moved to Oswego, Oregon and settled in because their small apartment in Portland was too small. In Oswego Herman found a job as a traveling sales man for a druggist and jeweler named D.J. Fry.

In the 1940s, Linus Pauling decided to assist the U.S.A in World War 2. Linus had many contributions in the WW2, but his most helpful contributions was a synthetic blood plasma, used when soldiers were wounded in combat, and this is still in use. Another contribution was his invention, the Oxygen detector which is used in planes and submarines to this day. Linus also invented the incubators, Used for premature births and Anesthetized patients about to undergo surgery. For all his help in the war, Linus received the presidential medal by Harry Truman. However, after the war, Linus learned about the nuke, he , along with other scientist, were against the nukes. Linus was also a main force in the Pugwash movement. For this, Linus was awarded

“Satisfaction of one’s curiosity is one of the greatest sources of happiness” said famous chemist Linus Pauling. Pauling was born in Portland, Oregon, on February 28th, 1901. He is the son of Herman Henry William Pauling and Lucy Isabelle Pauling. Pauling moved four times in six years. He attended public school in the city Condon. He started growing a interest in science when he was 12 years old and first started to collect insects, then minerals. Pauling later graduated from Washington High in 1917. But there was a problem. He scheduled two classes at the same and by the time he realized he had to take them in a sequence it was too late. He then graduated without a diploma. Despite him not having a diploma, he was still accepted

An influential person at this time was the English chemist Robert Boyle. Boyle improved upon the alchemists’ view of chemicals by describing chemicals as basic building blocks. Also, he said that tiny particles made up all matter and had predictable behavior. Boyle, learned of the difference between singular elements and chemical compounds. He also described how gases are affected by temperature and pressure.

This discovery led to understanding isomerism. An isomer is when two or more compounds have the same formula but different arrangements of atoms in the molecules. Berzelius the mentor of Wohler took this discovery to further enlighten on what isomers were. People were just

Noble Gases are used in many occasions in the real life. For example Neon signs are used in many electric signs.However despite many usages of Noble Gas in real life, it has strongest first ionization energy because it has full S and P valence electron shell which makes it hard to break the bond in order to make a chemical compound. Because of such characteristics it was believed that Noble gases cannot form compound. However in 1933, American chemist Linus Pauling theorized that heavier Noble gas elements such as Xenon and Krypton can form compound

Later, in the Seventeenth Century, a German chemist named Georg Ernst Stahl was the first to postulate on chemical reaction, specifically, combustion. He said that a substance called phlogiston escaped into the air from all substances during combustion.

Bohr is well known for his amazing research on the structure of the atom, he thought that maybe the hydrogen atom was based on the quantum theory that energy can only be transferred in one way, and he also thought that E. rutherford model had some problems, so he fixed

Throughout history chemistry has had a large impact on the field of medicine. Things such as

Our knowledge of chemistry, and the many ways that it surrounds us has helped us better understand the world we live in and the ways in which we can use chemistry to better our world, and improve our exploration of it.

Although organic reactions have been conducted by man since the discovery of fire, the science of Organic chemistry did not develop until the turn of the eighteenth century, mainly in France at first, then in Germany, later on in England. By far the largest variety of materials that bombard us are made up of organic elements. The beginning of the Ninetieth century was also the dawn of chemistry, all organic substances were understood
