A group of researchers has demonstrated a method that allows scientists to experimentally measure how the chemical bonds of materials are altered when two different materials are linked together. This ...

Microscopy is advancing in leaps and bounds these days. It was just last week that scientists produced the first image of a hydrogen atom’s orbital structure. Not to be outdone, Berkeley chemists have ...

The discovery of a stable single-electron covalent bond between two carbon atoms validates a century-old theory. The discovery of a stable single-electron covalent bond between two carbon atoms ...

Could helium molecules form in very high magnetic fields? In the extreme magnetic fields of white dwarves and neutron stars, a third type of chemical bonding can occur. That is the finding of ...

Separating heavy elements from one another is one of the biggest challenges of nuclear waste management. A new type of bonding between metals and ligands in actinide complexes opens new bonding ...

The three states of matter can be represented by the particle model. This model explains the properties of substances in their different states, as well as changes of state. Interactive activity: ...
