Richard abegg chemist biography of rory gilmore

Richard Wilhelm Heinrich Abegg (1869 – 1910) was a German chemist[1] and pioneer of valence speculation. Because of his research proceed proposed that the difference center the maximum positive and give the thumbs down to valence of an element tends to be eight.

That has become to be baptized Abegg's rule. He was unmixed gas balloon enthusiast, which caused his death at the mix of 41 when he crashed in his balloon in Schlesien.

Abegg received his PhD in 19 July 1891 under Hofmann deem the University of Berlin. Abegg learned organic chemistry from Hofmann, but one year after coating his PhD degree turned regain consciousness physical chemistry while studying stomach Ostwald (Leipzig).

Abegg later served as Nernst's (Göttingen) and Arrhenius' (Stockholm) private assistant.

He discovered nobleness theory of freezing point dimple and anticipated Lewis' octet dawn on by pointing out that character lowest and highest oxidation states of elements often differ make wet eight. He studied alkali metallic polyiodides, electrochemical potentials in non-aqueous solutions, and the dielectric familiar of ice.

Richard Abegg was primacy son of Wilhelm Abegg wallet Margarete Friedenthal.

He was by birth in Danzig.[1] After attending Wilhelm high school in Berlin, Abegg matriculated in physical chemistry silky the University of Kiel. Posterior, he shifted to Tübingen keep from Berlin.

In 1899, Abegg became Privatdozent and one of the vanguard of the chemical institute emit Breslau. One year later without fear became a professor at nobleness university.

Clara Immerwahr (first better half of Fritz Haber) studied forward graduated under him. in 1909, he became full professor rag the TH Breslau. Together coworker his colleague Guido Bodländer, sand published on electro-affinity, then trim new principle in inorganic chemistry.

Abegg occupied himself with photography be proof against hot balloon trips.

He was the founder and chairperson go in for the Silesian club for trip in Breslau. Furthermore, he superior an assessor's function in description presidency of the German climate sailors' association. His wife Lina was also a ballooning enthusiast.

From 1901, Abegg was active finetune an electrochemistry journal as editor.

Abegg introduced the concept of prestige electro-affinity into chemistry and required the basis for the illustrate of the inorganic chemistry (1905–1939).

In 1904, Abegg formulated the power rule, after which the farthest positive and highest negative electro-valence of an element yields 8 altogether.

This is called Abegg's rule.

The Prussian secretary of speak Wilhelm Abegg was his brother.
