Chemical bonding refers to the attraction between atoms and can come in several different types with varying strength. It allows the formation of substances with more than one atomic component and ...

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 ...

A new study that provides unprecedented insights into the chemical bonding of antimony could have a profound impact on ...

Calcium becomes a +2 ion and each chlorine becomes a -1 ion. The +2 calcium ion and the two -1 chloride ions attract each other and form an ionic bond and the compound calcium chloride. One calcium ...

A new study that provides unprecedented insights into the chemical bonding of antimony could have a profound impact on materials research. The collaboration between scientists from Leipzig University, ...

The opposite is true if we want to make new bonds. Energy is released when new chemical bonds are formed, so bond making is an exothermic process. Breaking or making the same chemical bond will ...

With a new polymer that only attracts certain substances from solutions when electrically activated, researchers have taken a ...
