From Atom to Molecule - Linus Pauling and Chemical Bonds (47/108)

From Atom to Molecule - Linus Pauling and Chemical Bonds (47/108)

In the series important inventions and discoveries from the spheres of geoscience and civil engineering are presented. The viewer gains insight into both the scientific and the socio-political background of a discovery or an invention. Pioneers of science are portrayed, subjects of research are presented and their further development up to the present day is traced. The process and functioning of the research objects are explained by means of computer animation. Dramatized scenes shed light on the working conditions and methods of the scientists. Particularly impressive are the historical film documents, some of which date back to the early years of cinematography. Der Chemiker Linus Pauling hat die Quantenmechanik, eine von den Physikern geschaffene Theorie zur Erklärung von Phänomenen im atomaren Maßstab, in die Chemie eingeführt. Er konnte mit diesem theoretischen Werkzeug der chemischen Bindung eine physikalische Begründung geben. Darüber hinaus gelang es ihm, seine Vorstellungen von der chemischen Bindung auch auf komplexe Moleküle anzuwenden, so auf die komplizierten Eiweißmoleküle.
