A chemical bond between a superheavy element and a carbon atom has been established for the first time. This research opens new vistas for studying the effects of Einstein's relativity on the ...

Helium — the recluse of the periodic table — is reluctant to react with other elements. But squeeze the element hard enough, and it will form a chemical compound with sodium, scientists report. Helium ...

High Pressure Yields Novel Single-element Boron 'Compound' Date: February 4, 2009 Source: Stony Brook University Summary: Scientists have found the first case of an ionic crystal consisting of just ...

Most chemical compouds are still unknown to science. How many new ones can we make by combining elements from the periodic table? When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

The periodic table is one of the triumphs of science. Even before certain elements had been discovered, this chart could successfully predict their masses, densities, how they would link up with other ...
