The slideshow shows how a covalent bond forms between a hydrogen atom and a chlorine atom, making hydrogen chloride. A simple molecule contains only a few atoms, so the sizes of atoms and simple ...

Hydrogen atoms are close together. The electron from each atom feels the attraction from the proton in the nucleus of the other atom. This attraction pulls the atoms together and the electrons are ...

In the water molecule, the oxygen and hydrogen atoms share electrons in covalent bonds. There are a total of 10 protons and 10 electrons, so the water molecule is neutral. The electron cloud model ...

Quantum researchers have long believed that strong spin interactions in qubits required covalent bonds, making large-scale ...

Space is home to a great many oddities, and even chemistry gets strange out there. In fact, there are even some molecules ...

Some covalent molecular compounds have higher melting ... boiling points are different due to the ethanol containing hydrogen bonding. Ether is a symmetrical molecule, so even though it contains ...

Researchers were able to demonstrate for the first time that non-covalent bonds between spin centers are also capable of producing quartet states through spin mixing. Supramolecular chemistry is thus ...
