This is because the bonds would force the molecule into a tortured, strained 3D shape that makes it highly reactive and unstable, says study co-author Neil Garg, a chemist at the University of ...

In the reaction, the bonds in the methane and oxygen molecule come apart, the atoms rearrange and then re-bond to form water and carbon dioxide. The little number written at the lower right after an ...

Carbon is a gregarious little atom, bending over backwards to link with a wide variety of elements in what is collectively ...

Polymers close polymerA large molecule formed from many identical ... They too are held together by very strong covalent bonds. There are greater intermolecular forces between the long chains ...

A substance that contains polar covalent bonds may not be overall polar. This is due to the shape of the molecule. Water molecules are polar molecules. Both of the bonds inside the molecule are ...

In a first-of-its-kind breakthrough, a team of UBC Okanagan researchers has developed an artificial adhesion system that ...
