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 ...

Many heavy atoms form from a supernova explosion, the remnants of which are shown in this image. NASA/ESA/Hubble Heritage ...

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 ...

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

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 position of hydrogen atoms in bromine-substituted triazoles critically determines their molecular dissociation pathways when exposed to low-energy electrons. Subtle shifts in hydrogen location ...

Hydrogen-like atoms (or hydrogenic atoms) are atoms with one single electron. Like the hydrogen atom, hydrogen-like atoms are one of the few quantum mechanical problems which can be exactly solved.

Such combining of experiments with quantum chemistry shows that hydrogen position change has a direct influence on the molecular dynamics after an interaction with low-energy electrons, where even ...

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 ...
