The periodic table of chemical elements, often called the periodic table, organizes all discovered chemical elements in rows (called periods) and columns (called groups) according to increasing atomic ...

This is the second part of a three-part series written by Carolyn Krause. Many of the elements were synthesized using an Oak Ridge reactor.

Heavy ligands such as polyoxometalates are opening a new frontier in actinide chemistry. Studying materials that are both ...

More than 75 years after its initial discovery, scientists have created an organometallic molecule containing the transuranium element berkelium. According to a new study, the electronic signature of ...

The covalent radius (a measure of how large individual atoms are) shows different trends if you are moving across a period or down a group. A comparison of the relative covalent radii of atoms is ...

Electronegativity, an essential characteristic of all elements in the periodic table, measures an atom's ability to attract electrons towards itself within a chemical bond. This vital theoretical ...
