The arrangement of small molecules—known as ligands—around transition metal atoms affects how the metal atoms behave. This is important because transition metals are used as catalysts in the synthesis ...

Finally, ChatGPT, which now incorporates the image-generating software Dall-E 3, got its chance. Interestingly, ChatGPT said ...

More than 75 years after its initial discovery, scientists have created an organometallic molecule containing the ...

Researchers have synthesised a triple bond between carbon and boron for the first time. This discovery could help chemists ...

Curiosity about a mistake that left tiny dots on a germanium wafer with evaporated metal films led to the discovery of ...

Chemical bonding refers to the attraction between atoms and can come in several different types with varying strength. It allows the formation of substances with more than one atomic component and ...

The pioneering nuclear chemist Glenn Seaborg discovered berkelium at Berkeley Lab in 1949. It was one of many achievements ...

This “grafting” technique creates a more stable material that is resistant to chemical changes and breakdown. “Instead of mixing in those chemicals, our method involves chemically bonding ...

Calcium becomes a +2 ion and each chlorine becomes a -1 ion. The +2 calcium ion and the two -1 chloride ions attract each other and form an ionic bond and the compound calcium chloride. One calcium ...
