\¦ä-¦begz-\ [Abegg, Richard Wilhelm Heinrich; Danish chemist, major work on chemical valence] (1869–1910) n. A Chemistry: For a given chemical element (as sulfur) the sum of the absolute value of its negative valence of maximum value (as −2 for sulfur in H2S) and its positive value (as +6 in H2SO4) is often equal to 8. For use in regard to a helical periodic system. This tendency is exhibited especially by the elements of the fourth–seventh groups and is known as Abegg's rule.
