EARLIER infra-red detection of hydrogen bonding in gas-phase mixtures of strong acids and weakly basic materials1 has now been extended to cover mixtures of weakly acidic and more strongly basic ...

Find out the differences between rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide, and learn the pros, cons, risks, and benefits of using them as antiseptics.

When you mix the rubbing alcohol with water, the latter’s molecules make hydrogen bonds with the water molecules. The alcohol dissolves in the water to form a homogenous solution, so you cannot ...

Finding a safe and efficient carrier of hydrogen is a major challenge. Recently, hydrogenated organic compounds have been studied as hydrogen storage materials because of their ability to stably ...

The carbon-hydrogen bond -- 2/3 of all bonds in hydrocarbons -- has defied chemists' attempts to open it up and add new chemical groups. A team has now cracked the strongest of C-H bonds, those on ...

Rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide are two common disinfectants. Their effectiveness can vary depending on how you use them and the types of germs you’re trying to kill.

Chemistry students the world over are familiar with covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds. Now a study has revealed a strange variety of bond that acts like a hybrid of the two.
