The words “molecule” and “compound” get thrown around very casually, often interchangeably, in any conversation about chemistry or material sciences. There is a good reason for this—the formal definitions are very nuanced, and there is some overlap, as well as debate about the boundaries of...
A molecule is a unit or particle that consists of two or more atoms that are chemically held together; the number of atomic nuclei making up a molecule is a determinate number. For instance, HCl is a molecule consisting of one hydrogenatombonded to one chlorine atom. It is made of two a...

with089compared to DMSO (n = 3, 2-tailed t-test p < 0.01). Thus, flow-cytometry analysis confirmed that cells treated with the089molecule accumulated in the G2/M phase (Fig.S3a). The arrest of the cell cycle in the G2/M phase due to an altered Swe1p activity has ...
Acompoundis a substance that is made up of two or more elements and whose composition is constant. For example, the compound we call water is created by combining the elements hydrogen and oxygen. One molecule of water is always made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. This is...
one electron contributed by the hydrogen atom and one by the fluorine atom. Although the electrons are shared between the hydrogen and the fluorine atoms, in this case they are not shared equally. This is clear from the fact that the HFmoleculeispolar; the hydrogen atom has a partial positiv...
An acid can be thought of as a molecule containing at least one hydrogen cation (H+) attached to an anion. The nomenclature of acids depends on whether the anion contains oxygen. If the anion does not contain oxygen, the acid is named with the prefix hydro- and the suffix -ic. For ex...
Covalent bonds are intramolecular forces, meaning they occur within a molecule. They are very strong and hard to break because they are very stable. Atoms participate in bonds because they are much more stable and at lower energy when sharing electrons. Bond length is the length of the ...
hydrogen bonds allow numerous water molecules to join the polymer molecule, building a double helix structure of the molecule and aggregating polymer molecules. An example of polysaccharide-based gelatin is kappa-carrageenan, a sulphated polysaccharide extracted from different species of red seaweed. This...
