This theory is given by alfred werner in 1892. The main postulates of this theory are as follows.
1) in the coordination compound the metal show two types of valancies
or linkage these are called primary and secondary valancies .
2)the primary valancies are normally ionisable and are represented
by the oxidation number and are satisfied by negative ions.
3) the secondary valancies are non - ionisable and are satisfied by neutral moleclues and negative ions. They are represented by coordination number and fixed for an atom.
4) the secondary valancies are directed towards the fixed positions in space . It leads to definite geometrry of the complex compound . On the other hand primary valancies are non-directional.....

they though he was crazy and became his critics
Did you mean Plate Tectonics Theory? - Plate Tectonics Theory is the combination of Continental Drift and Ocean/Sea Floor Spreading. BTW. The scientist who started it is Howard Baker continued by Alfred Wegener.
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift at the beginning of the 20th century. His idea was that the Earth's continents were once joined together, but gradually moved apart over millions of years. The idea was rejected at first as he was a Meteorologist and not regarded as a proper scientist.
He proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection, independently of Darwin.
Werner's theory, proposed by Alfred Werner in 1893, was the first attempt to explain the bonding in coordination compounds. It suggested that metal ions can form coordination complexes by donating electron pairs to coordinate covalent bonds with surrounding ligands. This theory laid the foundation for modern coordination chemistry.
Alfred Werner has played a major role in the advancement of atomic physics. He worked to derive compounds by focusing on a theory of coordination, in which addition and insertion compounds and auxiliary and principal valencies have been used.
Alfred Wegener's theory was known as the theory of continental drift.
why did other scientist not accpet Alfred Wegeners theory
Alfred Wegener
Alfred O'Rahilly has written: 'Electromagnetic theory' 'Electromagnetics' -- subject(s): Electromagnetic theory
Alfred Wegener
Nope
Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace proposed the theory called Natural Selection. This theory explained evolution.
Alfred Wegner theory was rejected for a reason. This is because he didnt have enough information to prove that he is correct
Alfred Wegener
Alfred wegener's theory of continental drift was not accepted by most of the scientific community in his world.
