Abstract: Recently compiled data for the first electron affinity and the first ionization potential are used to obtain values for an atomic electronegativity scale, based on the Mulliken relation.
A team of scientists based in the U.S. and Canada recently confirmed that carbon and other star-formed atoms don't just drift idly through space until they are dragooned for new uses. For galaxies ...
We Brits individually create on average 3 tonnes of carbon per year, or 8.2kg per day, from the food and drink we consume. So how do we reduce this? There are useful guidelines to follow when we ...
"The existing empirical models for predicting hardness are based on the strength of chemical bonds, the degree of ionization, the electronegativity of crystals, and the elastic moduli of materials.
