Highly reactive organometallic reagents, like organolithiums (molecules with a carbon–lithium bond) are essential reagents in ...

Many of us gained our first appreciation for chemistry upon witnessing a high school teacher drop a chunk of sodium into a beakerful of water. You may think you know the explanation behind the ...

In this video excerpt from NOVA's "Hunting the Elements," New York Times technology columnist David Pogue investigates chemical reactions involving sodium. Find out how the electron configuration of ...

Nanoengineered hard-carbon with nanoporous channels and an ultrathin SEI boosts fast, reversible all-slope sodium storage in ...

THE use of sodium dehydrocholate (Decholin) in the measurement of the circulation time was first advocated in 1931 by Winternitz, Deutsch and Brüll. 1 They described their results in 700 ...

Figure 1: Schematic illustration of the synthesis of yolk-shell FeS@C. Figure 5: Superior energy density and morphological changes of the Na-FeS@C cells. The morphologies of the samples were ...

Click the play button on the video above, and you’ll see a piece of sodium leaping over and over to get its (metaphoric) toes out of the water. It looks like a cute little experiment — but it’s not ...

With the world’s reserves of light oil diminishing, oil companies are increasingly turning to heavier varieties – which make up 70% of global oil reserves – to meet rising energy demands. Existing ...

Electric vehicles are colliding with a hard reality: lithium is expensive, supply chains are fragile, and safety concerns ...

Chemical reactions make new chemicals. Atoms are rearranged during a chemical reaction, but the number of atoms does not change. Evidence of chemical reactions includes a large temperature change, ...

An acid and alkali will neutralise each other and produce a salt and water. This is called a neutralisation reaction. The name of the salt produced can be worked out from the names of the acid and the ...
