according to the book Biochemistry. "The existence of a hybrid covalent-hydrogen bonded state not only challenges our current understanding of what a chemical bond exactly is, but also offers the ...

NO SCHOOL chemistry textbook is complete without a detailed enumeration of the basic types of chemical bond: covalent, ionic and metallic. And for good reason, because bonds are the glue that ...

Now a study has revealed a strange variety of bond that acts like a hybrid of the two. Its properties raise questions about how chemical bonds are defined, chemists report in the Jan. 8 Science.

Energy is released when new chemical bonds are formed ... The values for bond enthalpies are found in the data book. For some bonds, the mean bond enthalpy is quoted. This is to give an average ...

Could helium molecules form in very high magnetic fields? In the extreme magnetic fields of white dwarves and neutron stars, a third type of chemical bonding can occur. That is the finding of ...

The bond, of the chemical variety, occurs in the presence of very strong magnetic fields, such as those found around ultra-dense white dwarf stars. Its discovery not only demonstrates the ...

They captured the ongoing reaction process of the chemical bond formation in the gold trimer. The femtosecond-resolution images revealed that such molecular events took place in two separate ...

As the interactions between atoms are governed by the valence electrons, the findings shine light on the fundamental nature of chemical bonds ... especially during bonding with other atoms.

Other elements with a similar propensity as carbon to reshape their core electron nodal structures upon chemical bonding are proposed. Since the discovery of silicon and Wöhler's success in ...
