Lewis Carroll actually primarily wrote textbooks on mathematics and logic.




In Through the Looking-Glass the Red Queen tells Alice that 'You have to keep running to stay in the same place'. At the time she meant it literally, however I have heard the phrase used to describe the development of antibiotics (which is really more Biology than Chemistry). The idea being that whenever a new antibiotic is developed a new strain of bacteria resistant to the new antibiotic quickly develops. Hence you have to keep making new antibiotics to 'stay in the same place'.

In chemistry what is the Lewis theory?

The Lewis theory in chemistry is a model that describes chemical bonding based on the sharing or transfer of electrons. It focuses on the outer shell electrons of atoms, known as valence electrons, and how they participate in forming chemical bonds between different elements. In the Lewis theory, a covalent bond is formed when two atoms share a pair of electrons, while an ionic bond is formed through the transfer of electrons between atoms.
