    Extractions: (b. Jan. 31, 1881, Brooklyn, N.Y., U.S.d. Aug. 16, 1957, Falmouth, Mass.), American physical chemist whose studies of molecular films on solid and liquid surfaces opened new fields in colloid research and biochemistry and won him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 1932. Investigating electrical discharges in gases, electron emission, and the high-temperature surface chemistry of tungsten, Langmuir greatly extended the life of the tungsten-filament light bulb. He also developed a vacuum pump, high-vacuum tubes used in radio broadcasting, and an atomic hydrogen blowtorch capable of producing temperatures greater than 3,000 C (6,000 F). Working independently of the American atomic chemist Gilbert N. Lewis, Langmuir formulated theories of atomic structure and chemical bond formation and introduced the term covalence. In 1946 he and his associates began to explore the possibility of inducing rainfall by seeding clouds with silver iodide and solidified carbon dioxide.

    Extractions: Irving Langmuir : 1881 - 1957 Dr. Irving Langmuir, one of the twentieth century's outstanding chemists, was born in Brooklyn, NY where his father was employed as an insurance executive. Educated in the public schools of New York and Paris, France, he earned a B.S. degree from the Columbia University Schools of Mines and a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Gottingen Germany, where he studied under Nobel Laureate Walter Nernst. His first professional position was an instructor of chemistry at Stevens Institute, Hoboken, NJ from 1906 to 1909. He moved on to the General Electric Research Laboratory, Schenectady, NY, in 1909. There he spent the remainder of a prolific career that was to include more than 200 scientific publications, 63 patents, and the recipient of numerous honors, including the 1932 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. Dr. Langmuir's initial researches at the General Electric involved low-pressure chemical reactions and the study of the emission of electrons by hot filaments in a vacuum. This work led directly to two major inventions: the high vacuum electron tube (1912) and the gas-filled incandescent lamp (1913), which remains the most important type of indoor lighting in sizes of 40 watts and up. In addition, these early researches led Dr. Langmuir to formulate his theory of absorption, describing the formation of single layers of molecules on surfaces in terms of chemical bonding forces. This work forms the foundation of modern work on surface chemistry, with major implications for such fields as catalysis, and the orientation of molecules at liquid or solid surfaces. It is the basis for the Nobel Award that he received.

24. Gilbert Newton Lewis And Irving Langmuir
    Two Americans who were instrumental in developing a bonding theory based on the number of electrons in the outermost "valence" shell of the atom were Gilbert Newton Lewis (1875â 1946) and irving langmuir (1881â 1957).

    Extractions: Once physicists studying the structure of the atom began to realize that the electrons surrounding the nucleus had a special arrangement, chemists began to investigate how these theories corresponded to the known chemistry of the elements and their bonding abilities. Two Americans who were instrumental in developing a bonding theory based on the number of electrons in the outermost "valence" shell of the atom were Gilbert Newton Lewis (1875–1946) and Irving Langmuir (1881–1957). G. N. Lewis at his Desk. In 1902, while Lewis was trying to explain valence to his students, he depicted atoms as constructed of a concentric series of cubes with electrons at each corner. This "cubic atom" explained the eight groups in the periodic table and represented his theory that chemical bonds are formed by electron transference to give each atom a complete set of eight. In 1923 he redefined acids as any atom or molecule with an incomplete "octet" that were thus capable of accepting electrons from another atom; bases were, of course, electron donors. Lewis was also important in developing the field of thermodynamics and applying its laws to real chemical systems. At the end of the nineteenth century when he started working, the law of conservation of energy and other thermodynamic relations were known only as isolated equations. Lewis built on the work of another American pioneer in thermodynamics, Josiah Willard Gibbs (1839–1903) of Yale University, whose contributions were only slowly recognized. Their work was of immense value in predicting whether reactions will go almost to completion, reach an equilibrium, or proceed almost not at all, and whether a mixture of chemicals can be separated by distillation.

    Extractions: Langmuir, Irving (1881-1957), químico estadounidense conocido por su trabajo en distintos campos de la química. Langmuir nació en Brooklyn (Nueva York) y estudió en las universidades de Columbia y Gotinga. Desde 1932 hasta su jubilación en 1950, fue director adjunto del laboratorio de investigación de la General Electric Company. Trabajó en el desarrollo de las lámparas de tungsteno, en el aparato de descarga de electrones, en las bombas de vacío y en la soldadura de hidrógeno atómico. Langmuir y su colega estadounidense Gilbert Lewis desarrollaron una teoría de la interacción química y la valencia basada en la estructura del átomo, conocida como teoría de Langmuir-Lewis. La investigación de Langmuir en la física de las nubes le condujo a la estimulación artificial de la lluvia. Por su trabajo en películas monomoleculares y en química de superficies, fue galardonado en 1932 con el Premio Nobel de Química.

His initial research at General Electric involved low-pressure chemical reactions and the study of the emission of electrons by hot filaments in a vacuum. This work led directly to the invention of the high-vacuum electron tube in 1912 and the gas-filled incandescent lamp in 1913. Langmuir was responsible for many basic scientific discoveries which played a fundamental role in the development of commercial electrical products as well as in military and general scientific areas. His contributions to atomic theory and the understanding of atomic structure threw light upon the meaning of isotopes. His experiments with oil films on water resulted in the development of two-dimensional or surface chemistry.

    Extractions: Nobel Laureate (1932) Langmuir Laboratory is named in honor of Dr. Irving Langmuir who, in 1932, was awarded the Nobel Prize for his discoveries and investigations in surface chemistry. Dr. Langmuir was associated with General Electric Company's research laboratory from its formation in 1909 until his death in 1957. His studies significantly advanced knowledge of low pressure phenomena, heat transfer, electrical discharges, plasmas and their oscillations, nucleation of ice in clouds, rain formation and other areas of physics. Beginning in 1947, following key discoveries at the GE laboratory in 1946 by Vincent Schaefer and Bernard Vonnegut, Dr. Langmuir and the two scientists conducted intensive cloud and storm studies in the Socorro area. In 1975, Dr. Langmuir's son Kenneth made a generous bequest to Langmuir Laboratory of funds remaining in the estate of his father. Last updated 07 December 2001 by kieft@nmt.edu

    Extractions: Langmuir's research on electric discharges in gases at very low pressures led to the discovery of the space-charge effect: the electron current between electrodes of any shape in vacuum is proportional to the 3/2 power of the potential difference between the electrodes. He also studied the mechanical and electrical properties of tungsten lamp filaments. Langmuir's introduction of nitrogen into light bulbs prevented them from blackening on the inside but increased heat loss, which was overcome by coiling the tungsten filament.

    Extractions: Von frühester Kindheit an versuchten seine Eltern mit Erfolg, sein Interesse an der Naturwissenschaft zu wecken. Einen großen Einfluß auf den jungen Irving Langmuir hatte auch sein älterer Bruder Artur. Artur Langmuir war Chemiker und beantwortete mit Geduld alle Fragen des jüngeren Bruders zu einfachen naturwissenschaftlichen Problemen. Artur war es auch, der Irving dabei half, sein erstes Labor in einer Ecke seines Kinderzimmers aufzubauen. Im Jahre 1892 zog Familie Langmuir nach Paris. Das dortige Schulsystem war so traditionell und rigide, daß Irving bald die Freude an der Naturwissenschaft verlor. Nach der Rückkehr in die Vereinigten Staaten konnte allerdings ein Privatlehrer Langmuirs Begeisterung wieder wecken. Nach Beendigung der Schulzeit begann Langmuir ein Studium der Metallurgie, welches er mit Abschlüssen an der Pratt Institute's Manual Training High School in Brooklyn und der Columbia University erfolgreich beendete. Im Jahre 1903 ging Langmuir nach Deutschland, wo er in Göttingen unter Walter Nernst arbeitete. Dort schrieb er 1906 seine Doktorarbeit zum Verhalten von Gasen in der Nähe eines heißen Platindrahtes. Nach seiner Rückkehr nach Amerika arbeitete er zunächst als Chemielehrer in Hoboken, New Jersey, ging aber bald zu General Electric Co.. Die Freiheit in der Forschung, die ihm dort gewährt wurde, ermöglichte ihm zahlreiche Erfindungen, wie die Kondensations-Quecksilbervakuumpumpe, die
