SP hybridization occurs when one s orbital and one p orbital from the same atom combine to form two new orbitals of equal energy. These new orbitals are linearly oriented 180 degrees apart, leading to ...

Chemists at UCLA are showing that some of organic chemistry’s most famous “rules” aren’t as unbreakable as once thought. By ...

The carbon-hydrogen bond -- 2/3 of all bonds in hydrocarbons -- has defied chemists' attempts to open it up and add new chemical groups. A team has now cracked the strongest of C-H bonds, those on a ...

Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds. Most organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, but they may ...

NEW YORK -- A method for building complex molecules has paid off by helping to fight cancer, protect crops and make electronic devices -- and now it has earned its developers a Nobel Prize. Three men ...

NO more striking illustration of the development of organic chemistry could be found than that presented by the growth of this popular German treatise. Appearing about 1880, as companion volume to a ...
