Linus Pauling was a very facile scientist. He is known by his colleagues to be the most influential chemist since Lavoisier (who was, in the 18th century, recognized to be the founder of the modern science of chemistry.) For a man that lived on this earth only 93 years, he made many strides in his areas of expertise. This was mainly chemistry, physics and molecular biology. He studied the nature of the chemical bond; also with Vitamin C, which he proclaimed could be a preventive for colds. Needless to say, Pauling had made many accomplishments in his lifetime, now it is time to bring these to light. Mr. Pauling’s strides in chemical bonding changed chemistry forever. Not only did he develop an electronegativity scale to assign to atoms involved
