Who Invented the Electroneutrality Principle?

It was formulated by Linus Pauling

Linus Pauling
The most commonly used method of calculation is that originally proposed by Linus Pauling. This gives a dimensionless quantity, commonly referred to as the Pauling scale (χr), on a relative scale running from 0.79 to 3.98 (hydrogen = 2.20).

in 1948 and later revised.

What is the law of electroneutrality?

The law of electroneutrality states that in any single ionic solution a sum of negative electrical charges attracts an equal sum of positive electrical charges.

What is Electroneutrality principle in coordination chemistry?

Pauling's principle of electroneutrality states that each atom in a stable substance has a charge close to zero. ... However, modern computational techniques indicate many stable compounds have a greater charge distribution than the principle predicts (they contain bonds with greater ionic character).
