  1. GilbertLewis By: Hailey Kaay & JasmeenGurm

  2. Personal Story • October 23, 1875 – March 23, 1946 • American physical chemist • Married HyldaTafler for 53 years • Had two sons • He couldn’t support his family financially so he left them

  3. Idea of the Atom • He believed that the atom was shaped of a cube and the corners represent the electrons • Discovered more and more of chemical bonds • He studied about special relativity and gained more knowledge on mathematical physics and study of space time Atomic model known as the Lewis Langmuir octet

  4. Area Of Study • Study of space-time • National Academy of Sciences • Harvard University at 15 • Gilbert was the first scientist to produce heavy water, experimenting with double weight hydrogen atoms • Worked with Ernest Lawrence in the invention of the cyclotron • Atom-smashing experiments.

  5. Major Scientific Contribution • Gilbert Lewis is well known for the discovery of covalent bonds and purification of heavy water • Thermodynamics - working with heat and mechanical energy • He showed how to write formulas using dots to represent the electrons for example Example: O::C::O for carbon dioxide or H:Cl for hydrogen chloride.
