You probably learned in high school chemistry class that core electrons don't participate in chemical bonding.

A Skoltech professor and his Chinese colleagues have revised a key chemical concept, electronegativity, and determined this characteristic for all elements under varying pressures. The revamped notion ...

High-pressure chemistry is an interdisciplinary science exploring reactions and phenomena occurring at pressures above 100 kPa. Under these extreme conditions, substances undergo remarkable ...

The compound is stable only at extreme temperatures, suggesting it forms through an entropy-driven reaction. On cooling, it ...

Ever wonder how deep-sea fish and other animals are able to survive in an environment where the water pressure would kill us humans? Well, the secret lies in a chemical that occurs naturally in their ...

Research suggests some metals’ semicore electrons may be more active on Earth’s surface than previously thought.
