Chemistry students are taught that some molecular shapes are so strained they simply cannot exist. For about 100 years, one of those supposed impossibilities has been locked into textbooks as a hard ...

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 ...

Chemistry textbooks explain how reactions start and end, but they rarely show what happens ...

A group of researchers at the University of Tokyo have spent years testing the limits of chemical bonds. And now, after years of work, they've finally explored an idea originally proposed in 1931: a ...

It's like the hydrogen bonds found in water, but way stronger. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Scientists have recently ...

Florida State University researchers have discovered a pathway within a certain type of molecule that limits chemical ...

Researchers have developed a Bayesian learning model of chemisorption, or Bayeschem for short, aiming to use artificial intelligence to unlock the nature of chemical bonding at catalyst surfaces. A ...
