Ken Wade recalls his own undistinguished part in the space race, and notes how carboranes revitalized boron hydride chemistry and modified our ideas of chemical bonding. In the 1950s, during the ...

Agent Gold is on a mission exploring the complex world of chemical bonds. This reimagining of a classic animation takes a comprehensive look at covalent, ionic and metallic bonding. Secondary Science.

The opposite is true if we want to make new bonds. Energy is released when new chemical bonds are formed, so bond making is an exothermic process. Breaking or making the same chemical bond will ...

Calcium becomes a +2 ion and each chlorine becomes a -1 ion. The +2 calcium ion and the two -1 chloride ions attract each other and form an ionic bond and the compound calcium chloride. One calcium ...

The actinides include 14 metallic elements in the periodic system ... about the electronic structure of actinide atoms in chemical bonds, that information is of limited usefulness.

When tiny metal particles fly at supersonic speeds and hit a surface, they can stick together and form strong bonds. This process is used in industries like 3D printing and cold spray coating to build ...
