The post New Form Of Oxygen Molecule Causes Scientists To Question Their Belief In Magic. Sort Of. first on TwistedSifter.

A breakthrough in heavy-element chemistry shatters long-held assumptions about transuranium elements. Researchers have ...

Atoms combine and bond to each other to make molecules. A molecule is made up of a certain number and type of atom. For example, water (H 2 O) is always made from two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen ...

The molecule has one shape when ferrying oxygen molecules and a slightly different shape when it is not Its 10,000 atoms are assembled into four chains, each a helix with several bends.

A team of scientists have elucidated an ancient mechanism of cellular respiration. To that end, they studied bacteria that feed on the gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and turn them into acetic acid ...

In the water molecule, the oxygen and hydrogen atoms share electrons in covalent bonds. There are a total of 10 protons and 10 electrons, so the water molecule is neutral. The electron cloud model ...

This particle diagram represents water or, to use its chemical formula, H₂O which is a compound of the elements hydrogen and oxygen. In one molecule of water, there are two hydrogen atoms and ...

Animals, plants and many other living organisms inhale oxygen to "burn" (oxidize) compounds like sugar into CO2 and water—a ...

German chemists have created the first-ever boron-carbon triple bond which opens new possibilities for molecular innovation.

Researchers have synthesised a triple bond between carbon and boron for the first time. This discovery could help chemists ...

Moreover, the dimensions of the molecule agreed closely with those deduced ... one side of it is readily accessible from the environment to oxygen and to larger reagents such as p-iodo ...
