Roald Hoffmann

Roald Hoffmann is a Nobel Prize-winning chemist known for his contributions to theoretical and organic chemistry. He developed important theories about how chemical reactions occur, particularly focusing on the role of molecular orbitals—regions where electrons are likely to be found. Hoffmann's work helps chemists predict the behavior of molecules during reactions, making it easier to understand and design new compounds. His insights bridge the gap between chemistry and mathematics, providing a deeper understanding of how substances interact at the molecular level. Beyond his research, Hoffmann is also an accomplished author and educator, sharing his passion for science with others.
