Abegg is a German chemist. 1869 1.9 was born in Danzig (now Gdansk, Poland); 19 10 died in kosslyn (now Keshalin) on April 3rd. 189 1 year, Abegg received his doctorate from the University of Berlin. 1899 was appointed professor of chemistry at breslau university. Shortly thereafter, he began to be busy studying the influence of the new electronic viewpoint of atoms on valence. In Abegg's view, the electron configuration in inert gas atoms (using later terminology, the outermost electron shell of helium has two electrons, and other inert gases have eight electrons) is particularly stable. An element like chlorine lacks 1 electron to form 8 electrons, and this element tends to accept 1 electron; An element like sodium has an extra electron, so it tends to give an electron. The sodium atom will give an electron to the chlorine atom, forming a positively charged sodium ion and a negatively charged chloride ion, which are bound together due to electrostatic attraction. In this way, the chemical reaction becomes the transfer of electrons, and the chemical bond becomes the attraction between charges of different symbols. Abegg died in a balloon accident when he was still young, so he didn't live long enough to see his concept developed by many chemists headed by Louis.
