Electron

Scientists from Harvard report that a permanent electric dipole has been detected between two rubidium atoms. This is in conflict with textbook theories, and has an interesting explanation.

Electron capture refers to two different processes, one best described as a physics process, the other as chemical and instrumentational.

New discoveries can bring about shocking results about who we are, where we come from and where we are headed to as narrated in the fictional scene of Planet Electron.

According to Wired Magazine, the Senate Armed Services Committee has voted to cancel funding for two high tech weapons systems that the United States Navy has been developing to fight wars of the future.

Exploring further the conflict between what Science says reality is made of and the conflict this creates for our physical senses.

At the Quantum level of reality there are some bazaar occurring phenomenon that conflict with the reality of our physical senses. Can these discrepancies be reconciled?

Describing how linear electron flow is driven. Beginning with photosystem II and ending with photosystem I.

It's absolutely unavoidable that chemistry students will have to learn the difference between an anion and cation. However, whether it's a painful process is entirely up to you.

The field of cytology has grown by leaps and bounds with the development of more advanced and sophisticated instruments. These instruments have given scientists the ability to visualize the shape, structure and contents of cells.

Ions are the result of atoms gaining or losing electrons. Ions that have gained electrons are called anions while ions that have lost electrons are known as cations.

Atoms are the most basic building blocks of matter. The concept of an atom may be confusing at first, due to the microscopic nature of the atom.

This article discusses some of the various factors that go into crystal engineering for electronic applications.

This article discusses the principles behind electron-donor behavior in organic dyes, including a recent application of this technique.

Scientific model of the atom theorized by Erwin Schrödinger, wherein electrons are thought of as wave forms circling the nucleus.

A couple different trends of the periodic table, relating differing properties of elements such as atomic size and ionization energy.

Drawing resonance structures in organic chemistry is a very hard concept to master. These are some rules that may help students write resonance structures.

Many students of chemistry trip and stumble over the topic of substitution vs. elimination. It's a vital skill to know. This article will help the reader to understand and recognize these reaction differences.

Triboluminescence is the light emitted when pieces of a specific material experience friction. This happens when an atom's electrons absorb energy. When they release this energy, this reaction is physically visible, appearing as light.

The electronic configuration chart may seem imposing but with some study and practice it is not that intimidating.

The sun and the radiation it sends into space will destroy living and non living matter. It will destroy the cells in your body.

Trends of three elements in the periodic table.
