Most metals are malleable – they can be bent and shaped without breaking. This is because they consist of layers of ions that can slide over one another when the metal is bent, hammered or pressed.

“In this work, a comprehensive study on crystal structure and chemical bonding properties of CrB 2 was conducted using a combinatorial of theoretical calculations and experimental validations.

Chemical bonding “is the heart of chemistry,” according to Alexander I. Boldyrev, a chemistry professor at Utah State University who spends his time thinking about how molecules are put together. “But ...

"SOMETIMES IT SEEMS to me that a bond between two atoms has become so real, so tangible, so friendly, that I can almost see it. Then I awake with a little shock, for a chemical bond is not a real ...

GRENOBLE, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CEA-Leti today announced a multi-partner project to demonstrate high-alignment-accuracy (<1µm) chip-to-wafer structures made by direct metallic bonding. Such ...

Ionic compounds close ionic compoundAn ionic compound occurs when a negative ion (an atom that has gained an electron) joins with a positive ion (an atom that has lost an electron). form a regular ...

We all remember the basic principles taught in high school chemistry class: There are three types of chemical bonds. However, covalent, ionic and metallic have a little competition now. There’s a new ...

Chemistry is one of the easiest and scoring subjects according to most of the students. Students should focus more on theory part as compared to numerical part because 80% questions are being asked ...
