Chemistry in the City: An Amendment
Leonard W. Fine
Department of Chemistry, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027
Cover
January 2005
Vol. 82 No. 1
p. 38
Full Text
I would like to amend a statement made in the article “Chemistry in the City” that referred to Irving Langmuir and the theory of the electron-pair bond (1). It would have been better to refer to the theory as being put forth previously (not simultaneously) by Gilbert Newton Lewis and to Langmuir as an advocate of this theory. As worded, the article implies that Langmuir originated the octet theory.
