Lewis is known by his work in thermodynamics, for the Lewis theory for acids and bases, and for the development of the valence theory in chemical reactions.
In 1916, Lewis proposed that the interaction between two electrons is the base of a valence bonding, an idea developed by Irving Langmuir which remains the base of modern valence theories.
Lewis was honored with the Davy medal by the Royal Society, the Arrhenius medal of the Swedish Academy, and the Gibbs and Richards medals.

 JCE 1999 (76) 1487 [Nov] A Biography of Distinguished Scientist Gilbert Newton Lewis (by Edward S. Lewis)
Gilbert N. Lewis was born in Weymouth, Massachusetts, in 1875, but his family moved to near Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1884.
Young Lewis (then only 17) was also said to have been disappointed with the quality of education in Nebraska, and this may have been part of the impetus for the family's move east.
Edward Lewis quotes his father as often saying, "Physical chemistry is anything interesting." Like many chemists of his time, Lewis went to Europe to complete his preparation for a career; he was in the laboratories of Ostwald in Leipzig and Nernst in Göttingen in 1900-1901.

Chimiste et physicien américain, Gilbert Newton Lewis est né le 23 octobre 1875 dans la petite ville de Weymouth dans le Massachussets.
Lewis connut seulement deux ans d'inactivité dans sa carrière, soit après sa sortie de Harvard, à cause de quelques publications qui créaient des conflits d'intérêts entre son professeur et lui.
Lewis est arrivé à faire cette découverte importante dans les années 1940 parce qu'il ne croyait pas qu'un simple électron pouvait complétement être transféré d'un atome à un autre suivant la théorie du positif et du négatif.

Lewis also worked on the theory of solutions and the application of the principles of thermodynamics to chemical problems.

 ChemTeam: The Lewis Theory of Acids and Bases   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
What Lewis wanted was a general definition of an acid and a base, one that was universal no matter what the chemical environment.
The Lewis definitions of acid and base do not have the constraints that the Bronsted-Lowry theory does and, as we shall see, many more reactions were seen to be acid base in nature using the Lewis definition than when using the Bronsted-Lowry definitions.
A "Lewis acid" is any atom, ion, or molecule which can accept electrons and a "Lewis base" is any atom, ion, or molecule capable of donating electrons.
