R. G. Parr

R. G. Parr was a renowned scientist known for developing conceptual tools in quantum chemistry that help understand how electrons behave within molecules. His work introduced the idea of " Parr functions," which act as mathematical indicators to identify regions of a molecule that are likely to donate or accept electrons during chemical reactions. These tools assist chemists in predicting and explaining molecular reactivity, making Parr's contributions essential for designing better chemicals, materials, and understanding fundamental chemical processes.
