The more carbons a carbocation is attached to, the more stable the carbocation because it allows the positive charge carried by the carbocation to be spread amongst the attached carbon atoms. A tertiary carbocation (attached to 3 carbon atoms) is more stable than a secondary carbocation (attached...
When are atoms most stable? What is the net charge of an atom? What are the two parts of an atom? What is the history of an atom? What makes an isotope stable or unstable? Which electrons are most responsible for the properties of an atom? What is an atom that has a different numb...
The different sized atoms mixed around in the bond structure cause irregularities in the atomic organization of the material, which makes it makes harder for slips and other deformations to occur. Share Cite Improve this answer Follow Follow this answer to receive notifications answered May 23...
Over in the reader request thread, Richard asks for experimental details: I'd be interested in (probably a series) of posts on how people practically actually do cold atoms experiments because I don't really know.
The word comes from the Greek word "ATOMOS" meaning "Unsplittable" Atoms are basically elements, hence cannot be divided further

Bottom line: as electronegativity increases, nucleophilicity decreases. Note: It’s important to restrict application of this trend to atoms in the same row of the periodic table; for instance, C N O F, or Si P S Cl. Going down the periodic table, another factor comes into play (next)...
Do you think it's necessary for school to have a model wire? Integrate. Who can't be all work together in a way that makes something more effective. Enable. To make it possible for someone to do something. Or for something to happen. For gold. The reins of things that are subject ...
The Universe makes deuterium nuclei, abundantly, with no problem. Proton-neutron collisions easily create the more stable deuterium, and even give off a high-energy photon of about ~2.2 MeV of energy in the process. Making deuterium is easy. The problem is that the instant we make it, it’...
covalent bonds. Part of what makes a metal what it is is its propensity to lose the electrons in its outer shell and become an ion, which is a charged particle. Ions prefer to coalesce into solid lattice structures. Covalent molecules, on the other hand, more often form liquids or gases...
