THERE is an increasing tendency on the part of organic chemists to apply the Berzelius dualistic theory, in a modified form, to organic compounds. In many theories of valency, individual groups are ...
Ordinarily, polar and nonpolar molecules don't mix. Polar compounds, such as water and hydrogen cyanide, have an uneven distribution of charge across the molecule, creating some areas that are ...
In 2009, a review of research studies on microwave cooking plainly spelled out their conclusion: “no significant nutritional ...
Hydrogen cyanide is what's described as a polar molecule, in the sense that it has one side with a positive electric charge and another side that is negative. This means that it prefers to link up ...
A new study reveals that Saturn’s moon Titan hosts bizarre chemistry where water-like and oil-like molecules can mix, hinting ...
A discovery about Saturn's moon Titan has challenged what scientists thought was a basic rule of chemistry. There, in the extreme cold, some supposedly fundamentally incompatible molecules may combine ...
What makes some plastics stick to metal without any glue? Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have peered into the ...
Hops are an essential ingredient in beer brewing and an important economic crop. The female flowers of hops are covered in ...
But much is unknown about the availability of water ice on the moon, or even what data is missing that could help fine-tune ...
