Scientists don’t know the limits of chemical space—the collection of all possible molecules—but a new analysis concludes chemists have discovered new compounds in that space at an exponential rate ...

An Ionic bond is formed when one of the atoms can donate electrons to achieve the inert gas electron configuration and the other atom needs electrons to achieve the inert gas electron configuration.

Simulations using a model of the Earth system have shed light on the role of short-lived halogen-containing gases in climate change. The findings suggest that these gases should now be included in all ...
