Scientists have managed to successfully make a transuranium complex where the central metal, here neptunium, forms a multiple bond to just one other element. Enabling study of such a bonding ...

Open an introductory chemistry textbook. What is a covalent bond? A covalent bond occurs when atoms share electrons in a molecule. What is a hydrogen bond? A hydrogen bond is an electrostatic ...

Scientists have now captured video of the intimate dance of two atoms as they bond with one another, break apart and come back together again. In a sequence of images from an electron microscope, two ...

Scientists recently created a never-before-seen four-atom molecule — the coldest of its kind ever made. Researchers created the oddball molecule — a strange configuration of sodium-potassium with an ...
