"SOMETIMES IT SEEMS to me that a bond between two atoms has become so real, so tangible, so friendly, that I can almost see it. Then I awake with a little shock, for a chemical bond is not a real ...

The chemical bond is defined, and students learn to distinguish between ionic and covalent Introduction to Bonding: The chemical bond is defined, and students learn to distinguish between ionic, ...

Chemical bonding “is the heart of chemistry,” according to Alexander I. Boldyrev, a chemistry professor at Utah State University who spends his time thinking about how molecules are put together. “But ...

Chemistry students the world over are familiar with covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds. Now a study has revealed a strange variety of bond that acts like a hybrid of the two. Its properties raise ...

The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was observed for the first time. As the interactions between atoms are governed by the valence electrons ...

The electronic charge density distribution or the electrostatic atomic potential of a solid or molecule contains information not only on the atomic structure, but also on the electronic properties, ...

“In this work, a comprehensive study on crystal structure and chemical bonding properties of CrB 2 was conducted using a combinatorial of theoretical calculations and experimental validations.

An elite chemical club has a new member, after a team in Germany found a way to link two boron atoms together with a stable triple bond. Boron joins carbon and nitrogen as one of the few elements in ...
