Chemical bonding enables scientists to take the 100-plus elements of the periodic table and combine them in myriad ways to form chemical compounds and materials. The success rate is pretty good, as ...

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, ...

NO SCHOOL chemistry textbook is complete without a detailed enumeration of the basic types of chemical bond: covalent, ionic and metallic. And for good reason, because bonds are the glue that binds ...

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 ...

We all remember the basic principles taught in high school chemistry class: There are three types of chemical bonds. However, covalent, ionic and metallic have a little competition now. There’s a new ...

Chemists at UCLA are showing that some of organic chemistry’s most famous “rules” aren’t as unbreakable as once thought. By ...

One atom or molecule binds to another through various types of bond, the strengths of which range from several meV to several eV. Although some computational methods can provide accurate descriptions ...

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

The continual growth of bioorthogonal chemical reactions in the past decade has offered an unprecedented opportunity for the study and manipulation of biological processes within living systems 1,2,3.

The carbon-hydrogen bond -- 2/3 of all bonds in hydrocarbons -- has defied chemists' attempts to open it up and add new chemical groups. A team has now cracked the strongest of C-H bonds, those on a ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A new type of adhesive that combines the bonding chemistry of shellfish with a bio-based polymer has been shown to perform as well as commercially available products and can be ...

Organic chemistry is packed with rules about structure and reactivity, especially when it comes to making and breaking ...
