As an alternative ethical theory, Lewis offered a form of divine command theory which equated God with goodness and treated goodness as an essential part of reality, thus asserting God's existence.

A third common theory is Lewis acid-base theory, which is based on the formation of new chemical bonds.

That same year, Walther Kossel put forward a theory similar to Lewis ' only his model assumed complete transfers of electrons between atoms, and was thus a model of ionic bonds.

In this paper, elaborating on the works of Lewis, and the valence bond theory ( VB ) of Heitler and London, and his own earlier works, Pauling presented six rules for the shared electron bond, the first three of which were already generally known:

The atoms in molecules model developed by Richard Bader was developed in order to effectively link the quantum mechanical picture of a molecule, as an electronic wavefunction, to chemically useful older models such as the theory of Lewis pairs and the valence bond model.

The band refused to negotiate, and sued Lewis in Los Angeles Superior Court, seeking a declaratory judgment stating Lewis had no rights to the name or theory of De-evolution.

During discovery, Lewis produced articles, promotional materials, documentary evidence and an interview recorded at the Akron Art Institute following the premiere of In the Beginning was the End in which Mothersbaugh and other band members credited Lewis with developing the theory of de-evolution, and the band quickly settled for an undisclosed sum.

Another theory was put forward by Archibald R. Lewis.

Gilbert Newton Lewis ForMemRS ( October 23, 1875 – March 23, 1946 ) was an American physical chemist known for the discovery of the covalent bond ( see his Lewis dot structures and his 1916 paper " The Atom and the Molecule "), his purification of heavy water, his reformulation of chemical thermodynamics in a mathematically rigorous manner accessible to ordinary chemists, his theory of Lewis acids and bases, and his photochemical experiments.

Langmuir became embroiled in a priority dispute with Lewis over this work ; Langmuir's presentation skills were largely responsible for the popularization of the theory, although the credit for the theory itself belongs mostly to Lewis.

According to the counterpart theory of David Lewis, the objects should be regarded as similar rather than identical.

The name photon derives from the Greek word for light, ( transliterated phôs ), and was coined in 1926 by the physical chemist Gilbert Lewis, who published a speculative theory in which photons were " uncreatable and indestructible ".

Although Lewis ' theory was never accepted as it was contradicted by many experiments, his new name, photon, was adopted immediately by most physicists.

Lewis also explains morality as being composed of three layers: relationships between man and man, the motivations and attitudes of the man himself, and contrasting worldviews.

Lewis D. Eigen explains:

After summoning Lewis, the first person narrator, to his country home, Ransom explains to Lewis that he ( Ransom ) is to travel to Perelandra ( Venus ), where is located a new Garden of Eden and a new Adam and Eve, to oppose the diabolically-possessed human physicist Professor Weston, who has been sent to corrupt the Eve figure.

Just before heading to the airport, Lewis ' ( Robert Carradine ) best friend Gilbert ( Anthony Edwards ) explains to him that he feels stupid that he cannot come, due to breaking his leg ( during a chess match ).

As the group sleeps Lewis has a dream about Gilbert, who explains to him that all is not lost and implores Lewis not to give up.

Lewis explains that true friendships, like the friendship between David and Jonathan in the Bible is almost a lost art.

Thunderbolt and Lightfoot are abducted by the men who were shooting at them -- the vicious Red Leary ( George Kennedy ) and the gentle Eddie Goody ( Geoffrey Lewis ) -- and driven to a remote location where Thunderbolt and Red fight each other, after which Thunderbolt explains how he never betrayed the gang.

Collision theory is a theory proposed independently by Max Trautz in 1916 and William Lewis in 1918, that qualitatively explains how chemical reactions occur and why reaction rates differ for different reactions.

It has been argued however, that Lewis treats the existence of worlds as primitive or brute and explains modality in terms of that analysis .</ ul > Lewis begins his attack on " ersatzism " in this chapter, rejecting Quine's suggestion that a possible world might be taken as a mathematical representation giving the coordinates of the spacetime points that are occupied by matter.

* Nick Lewis explains card throwing

A Lewis acid is a species that accepts a pair of electrons from another species ; in other words, it is an electron pair acceptor.

BF < sub > 3 </ sub > is a Lewis acid because it accepts the electron pair from fluoride.

A proton is transferred from an unspecified Brønsted acid to ammonia, a Brønsted base ; alternatively, ammonia acts as a Lewis base and transfers a lone pair of electrons to form a bond with a hydrogen ion.

The species that gains the electron pair is the Lewis acid ; for example, the oxygen atom in H < sub > 3 </ sub > O < sup >+</ sup > gains a pair of electrons when one of the H — O bonds is broken and the electrons shared in the bond become localized on oxygen.

Depending on the context, a Lewis acid may also be described as an oxidizer or an electrophile.

Carboxylic acids can be seen as reduced or alkylated forms of the Lewis acid carbon dioxide ; under some circumstances they can be decarboxylated to yield carbon dioxide.

In a more general definition, an acid can be any chemical species capable of binding to electron pairs is called a Lewis acid ; conversely any molecule that tends to donate an electron pair is referred to as a Lewis base.

In its compounds, sodium is usually ionically bonded to water and anions, and is viewed as a hard Lewis acid.

Donor number and donor acceptor scale measures polarity in terms of how a solvent interacts with specific substances, like a strong Lewis acid or a strong Lewis base.

In 1952 he began to apply quantum mechanics to the analysis of the reaction between Lewis acid and base molecules.

Typically, a dipolar bond is formed when a Lewis base donates a pair of electrons to a Lewis acid.

An example of a dative covalent bond is provided by the interaction between a molecule of ammonia, a Lewis base with a lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom, and boron trifluoride, a Lewis acid by virtue of the boron atom having an incomplete octet of electrons.

Lewis Sarett of Merck & Co. was the first to synthesize cortisone, using a complicated 36-step process that started with deoxycholic acid, which was extracted from ox bile.

The specific activation modality of most zeolitic catalysts used in petrochemical applications involves quantum-chemical Lewis acid site reactions.

Instead it is a Lewis acid whose Zn atom accepts an electron pair from the base OH < sup >-</ sup >.

Although zinc chloride solutions are acidic by the Brønsted definition, the zinc cation also specifically attacks hydroxyl groups as a Lewis acid.

Benzene and propylene are compressed together to a pressure of 30 standard atmospheres at 250 ° C ( 482 ° F ) in presence of a catalytic Lewis acid.
