There’s a common movie trope of an actor wiping their fingerprints off a gun. It seems like a simple wipe with a cloth eliminates any trace of a criminal’s guilt, but that isn’t actually the case! Scientists have developed a method that...

The periodic table is arranged by atomic number, which is the number of protons in an element’s nucleus. The elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number. The periodic table is also arranged by groups and periods. The...

Heisenbergs uncertainty principle says that if we know everything about where a particle is located, we know nothing about its momentum. Conversely, if we know everything about its momentum, then we know nothing about where the particle...

Why does chemistry happen?? Why do ions form?? Why do elements bond together?? These are all important questions and the answer comes back to one very important principle in chemistry and that is element stability. Elements are stable...

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom. They are important because they are involved in the chemical bonding of our elements which helps determine the reactivity of elements. In order to be stable,...

Unreactive, and resistant to change by any chemical means.
