Hokkaido University researchers have synthesized an organic compound with a longer bond between carbon atoms than ever before—exceeding the assumed limit for carbon-carbon single bond (C-C) lengths.

Scientists have for the first time captured and filmed atoms bonding together, using advanced microscopy methods they captured a moment that is around half a million times smaller than the width of a ...

Jan. 17 (UPI) --Everything depends on chemical bonds. Without chemical bonds, everything would fall apart. And yet, scientists don't entirely understand how chemical bonding works. Now, for the first ...

The covalent bonds that hold complex molecules together can come in different forms. Atoms like carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen can form both single and double bonds, sharing two or four electrons.

Chemists have set a new world record for the shortest chemical bond ever recorded between two metals, in this case, two atoms of chromium. Scientists discovered the molecule, which has a quintuple ...

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 synthesis of compounds with multiple bonds between main-group elements in the third row or lower of the periodic table has brought much excitement to inorganic and theoretical chemists. But ...

Ever since it was proposed that atoms are building blocks of the world, scientists have been trying to understand how and why they bond to each other. Be it a molecule (which is a group of atoms ...
