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 ...

Researchers have chemically linked 2D materials using a molecular "velcro," resulting in a device with improved ...

They too are held together by very strong covalent bonds. There are greater intermolecular forces between the long chains compared with smaller simple molecules. This means that polymers have a ...

Chinese scientists proposed a novel imine-to-olefin transformation strategy to synthesize single-crystal sp² carbon-linked ...

With the soaring popularity of orthodontics, driven by teeth straightening via near-invisible braces, comes another rising dental tweakment: 'edge bonding'. While specialised, it is among the ...

An interdisciplinary research team from LMU, the Technical University of Munich (TUM), and the University of Oxford has ...

Prior to 2000, many drugs that formed a covalent bond with targets did so non-selectively, which often led to undesired side effects when compared to non-covalent drugs. This led to the belief that ...
