Pauling's discoveries led to decisive contributions in a diverse array of areas including around 350 publications in the fields of quantum mechanics, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, protein structure, molecular biology, and medicine.
One of Pauling's examples is olivine, M 2 SiO 4, where M is a mixture of Mg 2+ at some sites and Fe 2+ at others. The structure contains distinct SiO 4 tetrahedra which do not share any oxygens (at corners, edges or faces) with each other. The lower-valence Mg 2+ and Fe 2+ cations are surrounded by polyhedra which do share oxygens.
The chemist Linus Pauling wrote, by way of example: In the case of a helium atom with two electrons in the 1s orbital, the Pauli Exclusion Principle requires that the two electrons differ in the value of one quantum number. Their values of n, l, and m l are the same.
Two others have won Nobel Prizes twice, one in chemistry and one in another subject: Maria Skłodowska-Curie (physics in 1903, chemistry in 1911) and Linus Pauling (chemistry in 1954, peace in 1962). [6] As of 2023, the prize has been awarded to 192 individuals, including eight women (Maria Skłodowska-Curie being the first to be awarded in ...
Physical chemistry: Mikhail Lomonosov (1711–1765) The first to read lectures in physical chemistry and coin the term (1752). Jacobus van 't Hoff (1852–1911) Jacobus van 't Hoff is considered one of the founders of the discipline of physical chemistry. His work helped found the discipline as it is today. [71] [72] [73] Svante Arrhenius (1859 ...
The Linus Pauling Award is an award recognizing outstanding achievement in chemistry. It is awarded annually by the Puget Sound , Oregon , and Portland sections of the American Chemical Society , and is named after the US chemist Linus Pauling (1901–1994), to whom it was first awarded in 1966.

February 15 – Linus Pauling proposes a DNA triple helix structure, [1] which is rapidly shown to be incorrect. 25 April 1953: the DNA double helix is first formally described. February 28 – Francis Crick and James Watson enter The Eagle, Cambridge, for a pub lunch announcing "We have discovered the secret of life." [2]
