The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and one electron in the region outside the nucleus. The electron and proton are attracted to each other.

Scientists have created a catalyst for hydrogen generation from ammonia that becomes more active with time, and by counting ...

New computational evidence reiterates that alkyl groups are inductively electron-withdrawing and that hyperconjugation ...

When two hydrogen atoms get close enough, the electron from each atom feels an attraction from the proton in the other atom's nucleus. This attraction pulls the atoms together. The electrons end up ...

From nearly indestructible metals, like tungsten, to delicate clouds in the sky, atoms make up everything around us. But do ...

Instead, their research shows alkyl groups actually pull electrons away from the rest of the molecule, making them electron-withdrawing when compared to hydrogen. The Cardiff team used advanced ...

When quantum electrodynamics, the quantum field theory of electrons and photons, was being developed after World War II, one of the major challenges for theorists was calculating a value for the Lamb ...

Seoul National University and Hyundai Motor unveil cause of fuel cell catalyst degradation Seoul researchers develop ...
