Pauling's theoretical model has a very important hidden finding. To satisfy
the requirement that at
the equation for y/(1-y) gives
the following:
This equation can be considered as a quadratic equation for
Since
has
to be positive by definition,
has to be positive also. The two solutions for
are:
or
The second solution is not valid, since it is negative. The first solution
gives:
or
