Explain to students that the two electrons in the bond between the hydrogen atom and the oxygen atom can be thought of as “belonging” to each atom. This gives each hydrogen atom two electrons in its ...

An atom consists of a heavy center, called the nucleus, made of particles called protons and neutrons. An atom has lighter ...

Imidazoles and triazoles are essential chemical compounds used in many medicines, including drugs used to defeat various pathogen-induced infections and cancer. Besides these applications, both ...

X-ray-excited electrons are then tunneled to the detector tip (gray) via overlapping atomic/molecular orbitals, which provide elemental and chemical information of the iron atom. Credit: Saw-Wai Hla ...

But apart from hydrogen, all other atoms in the periodic table have more, some many more, electrons orbiting their nuclei. For example, the oxygen atom has eight electrons, the atom of iron has 26 ...

Hydrogen is a promising energy source for next-generation technologies, but storing and transporting it is expensive and challenging. Now, researchers from Kyushu University have developed an ...

The number of protons in an atom of any given element is always the same. Physicists call this the atomic number.So, in the above example of lead, its atomic number is 82 and that does not change ...

The hydrogen atom was once considered the simplest atom in nature, composed of a structureless electron and a structured proton. However, as research progressed, scientists discovered a simpler ...

Hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom are close together. Electrons from each atom feel the attraction from the protons in the nucleus of the other atom. This attraction pulls the atoms together and the ...
