Electronegativity and molecular polarity are central to understanding chemical bonding. By combining periodic trends with molecular geometry, you can predict whether a molecule is polar or nonpolar.

Bans on older versions of “forever chemicals” seem to be working. But emerging variants behave in ways that scientists are ...

Tiny plankton shells used to reconstruct past polar ocean temperatures may contain two different chemical stories, a new ...

Chemists at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung have developed a practical two-step method for alkylating alkenes via ...

This important cross-species study tests whether the corpus callosum contains parallel, segregated pathways for ipsilateral and contralateral visual-field information, rather than mixed inputs from ...

Researchers from MIT and collaborating institutions have, for the first time, directly measured the 3D atomic structure of a ...

Tiny plankton shells used to reconstruct past polar ocean temperatures may contain two different chemical stories, a new study by iC3 researchers has ...

Bond polarity is all about how atoms share electrons—and when that sharing isn’t equal, fascinating things happen. From electronegativity differences to molecular geometry, these factors decide ...

Professor Laramie Jensen’s interest in inorganic and analytical chemistry led her to the ocean. And then to the North Pole.

New nitride materials could let electricity control hidden magnetic spin patterns, pointing toward faster and more stable ...
