Nobel Prize for Peace

Science and peace (Nobel Lecture, Oslo, December 11,1963, on receiving the 1962 Nobel Prize for Peace). In Les Prix Nobel en 1963, M. G. LUjestrand, ed., Kungligen Boktryckeriet P. A. Norstedt och Soner, Stockholm, (1964), pp. 296-312. 

Pauling received a Nobel Prize in 1954 for his work in chemistry. He received another Nobel Prize, for peace, in 1963 for his work on limiting the testing of nuclear weapons. He s the only individual to receive two unshared Nobel Prizes. (He s also well known for his advocacy of using megadoses of Vitamin C to cure the common cold.)... 

Linus Pauling (1901-1994) was the first person ever to receive two unshared Nobel Prizes. He received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1954 for his contributions to the nature of chemical bonding. He received the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1962 for his efforts on behalf of international control of nuclear weapons and against nuclear testing. 

Bright Wilson he co-authored the book Introduction to Quantum Mechanics (1935) and wrote the influential books General Chemistry (1948) and College Chemistry (1950). Pauling was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize for chemistry. In the 1950s he became concerned with nuclear weapons, particularly their testing in the atmosphere. This led to him being awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize for peace. 

Interestingly, in 2004 the Nobel Prize for Peace was awarded to Wangari Maathai, a Kenyan veterinarian and academic for her contribution to sustainable development, democracy and peace . She foimded, and for more than 30 years has been involved with, the Green Belt Movement which has focused on encomaging poor women to plant more than 30 million trees in an effort to curb desertification and provide resources. 

Linus Pauling (1901-1994) was born in Portland Ore gon and was educated at Oregon State University and at the California Institute of Technology where he earned a Ph D in chemistry in 1925 In addition to re search in bonding theory Pauling studied the structure of proteins and was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for that work in 1954 Paul ing won a second Nobel Prize (the Peace Prize) in 1962 for his efforts to limit the testing of nuclear weapons He was one of only four scientists to have won two Nobel Prizes The first double winner was a woman Can you name her" ... 

Marie Curie named polonium after her native country of Poland. She is also given credit for coining the world radioactivity. She is one of only two chemists to receive two Nobel Prizes. In 1903 both the Curies and Antoine-Henri Becquerel (1852—1908) shared the Nobel Prize for Physics for their work on radioactivity in 1911 Madame Curie received the prize for chemistry for the discovery of radium and plonium. (The other scientist who received two Nobel Prizes was Linus Pauling [1901-1994], one for chemistry in 1954, and a Nobel Peace... 

Linus Pauling (1901-1994) was the most famous American chemists of the 20th century and the author of the classic The nature of the chemical bond. His early work pioneered the application of X-ray diffraction to determine the structure of complex molecules he then went on to apply quantum theory to explain these observations and predict the bonding patterns and energies of new molecules. Pauling, who spent most of his career at Cal Tech, won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1954 and the Peace Prize in 1962. 

Linus Pauling, bom Portland, Oregon, 1901. Ph.D. Caltech. Professor, Caltech. Known for work in quantum chemistry and biochemistry, campaign for nuclear disarmament, and controversial views on vitamin C. Nobel prize for chemistry 1954, for peace 1963. Died near Big Sur, CA, 1994. 

The most widely accepted method for determining values of electronegativity is that of Linus Pauling (1901-1995), an American scientist who won the Nobel Prizes for both chemistry and peace. To understand Pauling s model, consider a hypothetical molecule FIX. The relative electronegativities of the FI and X atoms are determined by comparing... 

L. Pauling, The Nature of the Chemical Bond, Cornell University Press, 1st edn. 1940. Pauling was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1954 for his research into the nature of the chemical bond . He was also awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. 

Linus Carl Pauling (1901-1994), American physicist and chemist in the years 1931-1964, he was a professor at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena in 1967-1969, he was a professor at the University of Califomia, San Diego and from 1969-1974 at the Stanford University. He received the 1954 Nobel prize for Ns research into the nature of the chemical bond and its appS-cabon to the eluddabon of the structure of complex substances. In 1962, he received the Nobel peace prize. His m or achievements are the development of the theory of chemical boncMheVB method... 

Nobel left his fortune for the establishment of five prizes to be awarded annually for achievements in chemistry, physics, physiology or medicine, literature of an idealistic tendency, and the promotion of world peace. The first awards were made in 1901. The Nobel Prize for Economics was founded in 1968 by the National Bank of Sweden and the first award was made in 1969. The Nobel Prizes have become the most highly regarded of all international awards. A Prize cannot be shared by more than three people, and cannot be awarded posthumously. A list of the winners of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry is given below. On occasions the work that has resulted in awards in physics and physiology or medicine has been to some extent chemical in content or application.
