Phys.org on MSN: Millions of atoms, shifting bonds—new software brings living chemistry into view
Multiple atoms combine to form a molecule, and when the number and types of atoms that make up the molecule change, the properties of the molecule also change significantly. One of the fundamentals of ...
For the first time, researchers have played matchmaker between two specific atoms, joining them together to form a molecule. Typically, chemists make molecules by mixing up many constituent atoms, ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Atoms form molecules or crystals using their outermost electrons through interactions between single elements or multiple elements. Various molecules and crystals can assemble in ...

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara have shown that, under the right circumstances, hydrogen can form multicenter bonds, where one hydrogen atom simultaneously bonds to as many ...
Beyond The Bonds That Bind: Researchers Discover Hydrogen Can Form Multicenter Bonds
Silicon, located below carbon in group 14 of the periodic table, usually combines with four atoms to form a tetracoordinated silicon structure, and it can form a bond with another silicon atom. The ...
"why" can be compared to an old Latin form qui, an ablative form, meaning how. Today "why" is used as a question word to ask the reason or purpose of something. This use might be explained from a formula such as "How does it come that ...".
