In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, the electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons in an atom, molecule, or other physical structure (e.g., a crystal). Like other elementary particles ...

Diradical chemistry, which examines molecules with two unpaired electrons, has emerged as a vibrant field in the study of organic materials. These systems, often manifesting as open‐shell species, ...

Students describe the location of the electron using quantum numbers. Atomic Theory: Electron Distributions: Students describe the location of the electron using quantum numbers, electron distribution ...

Scientists at OIST have defied a foundational rule in chemistry by creating a stable 20-electron version of ferrocene—an organometallic molecule once thought to be limited to 18 valence electrons.

Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank, and Richard Henderson have claimed the 2017 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their development of cryo-electron microscopy. This year’s winners surprised many people and ...
