When scientists think about what drives chemistry in space, high-energy radiation, such as X-rays, gamma rays, and ions, gets most of the attention. But a new study suggests that low-energy electrons ...

Students calculate wavelength, frequency, or the velocity of a wave. Atomic Theory: Electrons on the Atom Bohr’s model of the atom are described. Students calculate wavelength, frequency, or the ...

Preston J. MacDougall, a professor at Middle Tennessee State University, wanted to understand where electrons tended to reside and where they stayed away from in a crystal of a diiron cluster compound ...

A new study has revealed that a core idea taught in chemistry classrooms around the world may be wrong. Dr. Edwin Johnson, Lecturer at the University of Newcastle, co-authored the paper published in ...

A study suggests atoms can bond not only with electrons in their outer shells, but also via those in their supposedly sacrosanct inner shells Most of us learned in high school chemistry class that ...

It is the valence electrons in an atom that participate in bonding, whereas the core electrons reside deep inside the atoms and therefore do not have any direct interactions with the surroundings. It ...

Plants have a monopoly on the sun. They soak up rays, shuffle electrons, and ...

For the first time, scientists have used ultrafast X-ray flashes to take a direct image of a single electron as it moved during a chemical reaction. In the new study, published Aug. 20 in the journal ...

On the move: time sequence of the electron distribution of the molecule 1,3-cyclohexadiene after it is excited by a light pulse. (Courtesy: SLAC) Scientists in the US and UK are the first to observe ...
