Element No. 6 on the periodic table, carbon can bond with almost every other element ... Natalie Angier's new book, The Cannon, features a wonderful chapter on chemistry that explores the talents ...

carbon can be associated with more than four atoms.” Atoms bond by sharing electrons. In a typical bond two electrons are shared, one from each of the atoms involved. Carbon has four such ...

This finding implicates an augmentation of the, so far, maximum bond order of three for carbon and other first ... configuration (that is the 'text book' explanation whereby two electrons line ...

Now, researchers have made the first observations of covalent bonds that form when two carbon atoms share a single electron. This unusual bonding behaviour has been seen between a few other atoms ...

Since any single electron bond between carbon atoms is bound to be weak, chemists searching for an example needed to find a way to stabilize molecules, rather than have other reactions destroy them.

Now chemists have expanded the library of such molecules, creating a trio of transuranium complexes that contain double bonds between neptunium and carbon ... a variety of bond types with uranium ...

In the novel molecule, the boron atom is in a linear arrangement with carbon atoms. "In combination with the triple bond, this is about as uncomfortable as it gets for boron, requiring very ...

The discovery of a stable single-electron covalent bond between two carbon atoms validates a century-old theory. The discovery of a stable single-electron covalent bond between two carbon atoms ...

Watch the announcement here: The technique bonds carbon atoms, which is necessary for the creation of complex chemicals, but difficult since carbon is inert. The three chemists found a way to ...

Now, a team of researchers from Hokkaido University has isolated a compound in which a single electron is shared between two carbon atoms in a remarkably stable covalent bond, known as a sigma bond.
