Linus Carl Pauling (February 28, 1901-August 19, 1994) was an American physical chemist.
He introduced the concept of electronegativity in 1932. Using the various properties of molecules such as, the energy required to break bonds and the dipole moments of molecules, he established a scale and an associated numerical value for most of the elements which is useful in predicting the nature of bonds between atoms in molecules. Pauling Electronegativity Scale
He received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1954 "for his research into the nature of the chemical bond and its application to the elucidation of the structure of complex substances", and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1962. He is also well-known for his research into the therapeutic effects of vitamin C.
