This new cerium-based catalyst interconverts between two oxidation states with distinct chemical properties, enabling two completely different reactions to occur in the same container. Most of the ...

Penn State researchers have uncovered a surprising twist in a foundational chemical reaction known as oxidative addition. Typically believed to involve transition metals donating electrons to organic ...

The reaction generates amino acids and nucleic acids, the building blocks of proteins and DNA. Four billion years ago, the Earth looked very different than it does today, devoid of life and covered by ...

Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing these improvements requires that chemists design around documented reaction ...

Note: This video is designed to help the teacher better understand the lesson and is NOT intended to be shown to students. It includes observations and conclusions that students are meant to make on ...

Most of the drugs, plastics, and industrial materials widely used today are produced through chemical reactions. In general, most high-performance and sophisticated substances have complex structures, ...

View the video below to see what you and your students will do in this lesson. Because substances are made up of different atoms and molecules, they react in characteristic ways. Production of a gas, ...
