Lewis

Gilbert Lewis was a scientist known for his work in chemistry, especially in understanding how atoms bond together. He introduced the idea that atoms share pairs of electrons, called covalent bonds, to form molecules. Lewis also developed structures called Lewis diagrams, which show how atoms are connected using dots or lines to represent electrons. These concepts help explain how substances form and behave. His ideas are fundamental in understanding chemical reactions and the structure of molecules, making him a key figure in modern chemistry.
