John Morrison Galbraith is an associate professor of chemistry at Marist College who studies chemical bonding, which is the process that holds atoms together to make molecules. Did you take a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Quantum chemists have discovered a new type of chemical bond in molecules that contain two uranium atoms. A total of ten electrons -- the equivalent of five covalent bonds -- are involved in the bonds ...

A common iron mineral hiding in soil turns out to be far better at trapping carbon than scientists realized. Its surface ...

In 1923, the year C&EN was born, Gilbert N. Lewis of the University of California, Berkeley, published a book titled “Valence and the Structure of Atoms and Molecules.” In the text, Lewis laid out the ...

Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling, Ph.D., predicted in 1939 that hydrogen bonding would prove to be more significant in the field of biology than any other type of chemical bond. His prediction has been ...

Using advanced microscopy techniques, researchers have recorded the breaking of a single chemical bond between a carbon atom and an iron atom on different molecules. The team used a high-resolution ...
