The shapes of atomic orbitals also affect the spectroscopic properties of atoms and molecules. The absorption and emission of ...

The disagreements between calculations of the benzene energy states by the method of antisymmetric molecular orbitals (A.S.M.O.) and by the augmented valence-bond theory given in previous papers ...

According to VSEPR theory, an AX3E molecule has a tetrahedral electronic geometry. This means the four electron pairs (three bonding pairs and one lone pair) are arranged in a tetrahedral shape around ...

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) comprise individual metal atoms—such as palladium (Pd), or platinum (Pt)—anchored on a high-surface-area solid support, which both isolates the metal and influences its ...

For the lower alcohols, the tendency to serve as hydrogen bond donors (HBD) toward solutes is commonly expressed through various semiempirical scales incorporating polarity and acidity parameters. In ...

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 ...

Single-atom catalysts (SACs), with their excellent metal atom utilization and unique physicochemical properties, hold promise for broad applications, especially in heterogeneous catalysis and energy ...
