alleryWho developed the electronic theory of chemical bonding in 1916?
AKossel and Lewis
BKelvin and Lorentz
CKekule and Landau
DKepler and Lagrange
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Kossel and Lewis
1. The theory dates from the second decade of the twentieth century.
2. Two names are credited jointly.
3. Kossel and Lewis in 1916 developed the electronic theory of chemical bonding.
4. So the answer is Kossel and Lewis.
