A dot and cross diagram for sodium chloride suggests that it is made up of pairs of sodium and chloride ions. It is not. A 3D construction model shows how the ions are arranged in a lattice structure.

The universe is flooded with billions of chemicals, each a tiny pinprick of potential. And we’ve only identified 1% of them. Scientists believe undiscovered chemical compounds could help remove ...

Part of Chemistry (Single Science) Unit 1: Structures, trends, chemical reactions, quantitative chemistry and analysis In chemistry, ‘bonding’ describes how atoms are held together. ‘Structure’ ...

Chemical bonding is the force of attraction that holds atoms together to form molecules or compounds. There are two primary types of chemical bonds: ionic and covalent bonds. Both these bonds play a ...

A method has been discovered to easily predict the structure of materials using intuitive information such as the electrical properties or size of atoms without complex computational calculations. The ...

chemical substances in the universe, but it is thought that humans have been able to identify only 1% of them so far. It is expected that new chemical substances that have not been discovered so far ...

For the first time, MIT chemists have synthesized a fungal compound known as verticillin A, which was discovered more than 50 ...
