What is Electrons and Valence : Development of the Theory, 1900-1925 about?

Along With The Doctrine Of Atomism, The Electron Theory Of Valance Ranks As One Of The Most Fundamental Developments In The History Of Modern Chemistry. Yet, Because The Problems This Theory Solved Were Difficult Ones, The Modern Understanding Of Electron Bonding Came Only Slowly And Only After The Minor Contributions Of Many Scientists And The Major Contributions Of A Few. Following The Discovery Of The Electron By J. J. Thomson At Cambridge In 1897, Scientists Quickly Concluded That The Bonds Holding Atoms In A Molecule Were Electrostatic Or Polar And Resulted From Complete Electron Transfer. Soon, Though, Other Chemists Pointed Out That The Behavior Of Many Organic Molecules Was Inconsistent With The Polar Theory. Despite The Work Of Many Scientists, It Was Not Until 1916 That One---g. N. Lewis---succeeded In Putting Forward The Currently Accepted Electronic Mechanism For The Non Polar Bond---the Shared Electron Pair. In This Lucidly Written And Carefully Documented Study, The Author Traces The Gradual Transition From A Purely Polar Theory To One Requiring Two Kinds Of Bonds, Polar And Nonpolar, And Demonstrates That Lewis, With His Far-reaching Idea Of The Shared Electron Pair
