A group of researchers from Ehime University investigated valence electron configurations using light, expanding on prior studies of superconductors and quantum spin liquids. The findings were ...

The chapter Chemical Bonding plays an important role in IIT JEE, UPSEE, WBJEE and various other engineering entrance examinations. This article talks about Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR ...

The heaviest elements of the periodic table have intriguing atomic and nuclear properties 1. Valence-electron configurations and ionization potentials are strongly influenced by relativistic effects ...

It’s a helpful rule of thumb: Main group elements prefer forming bonds that give them eight valence electrons; transition metals go for 18 electrons. Now scientists have shown that main group elements ...
