Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have found a way to make plastics more sustainable by utilizing sulfur waste from ...

The willingness of the 4f orbitals of lanthanide metals to participate in chemical reactions is as rare as their presence in ...

Such molecules would be suited to acting as quantum bits, or qubits, the basic unit of information in quantum systems. But ...

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 ...

The opposite is true if we want to make new bonds. Energy is released when new chemical bonds are formed, so bond making is an exothermic process. Breaking or making the same chemical bond will ...
