The alkanes are a homologous series with a structure based on a carbon chain - each carbon atom forms four covalent bonds The intermolecular forces vary between molecules, so different organic ...

A research group has successfully demonstrated that carbon-carbon (C-C) covalent bonds expand and contract flexibly in response to light and heat. This unexpected flexibility of C-C bonds could confer ...

Microscopy is advancing in leaps and bounds these days. It was just last week that scientists produced the first image of a hydrogen atom’s orbital structure. Not to be outdone, Berkeley chemists have ...

There are three types of bonds in chemistry: ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds. In this article, we will look at the differences between ionic and covalent bonds. Chemical bonding is the force of ...

This unexpected flexibility of C-C bonds could confer new properties to organic compounds. Rigid and robust, C-C covalent bonds are the most basic structure in organic and biological compounds.
