The world’s largest atom smasher has conducted its first-ever collisions between protons and oxygen ions, as part of an ...

The book “Oxygen atom transfer reactions” is the first volume of the newly created book series Chemical Reaction Mechanisms at the Bentham Science publishing house. The first two volumes of ...

Using nuclear magnetic resonance, researchers at ETH Zurich have studied the atomic environments of single platinum atoms in ...

Each oxygen atom has 6 valence electrons in its outer energy level. When the oxygen atoms get close together, the attractions from the nucleus of both atoms attract the outer electrons from the other ...

Tell students that the oxygen atom attracts electrons a little more strongly than hydrogen does. So even though the electrons from each atom are attracted by both the oxygen and the hydrogen, the ...

Chemists have achieved a new feat in the realm of chemical design and synthesis: They've helped create the first example of a synthetic molecule, with an asymmetric oxygen atom as its centerpiece ...

Because that spare oxygen atom brings along an extra electron, peroxide is much less stable than water and much more eager to react with other molecules. It’s what chemists call a “reactive ...

Like ordinary water—H 2 0—each molecule of heavy water contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The difference, though, lies in the hydrogen atoms.
