Electronegativity, an essential characteristic of all elements in the periodic table, measures an atom's ability to attract electrons towards itself within a chemical bond. This vital theoretical ...

The periodic table of chemical elements, often called the periodic table, organizes all discovered chemical elements in rows (called periods) and columns (called groups) according to increasing atomic ...

Electronegativity is one of the most well-known models for explaining why chemical reactions occur. Now, Martin Rahm from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has redefined the concept with a ...

A new model rectifies the long-standing deficiencies of the electronegativity concept.

The periodic table has been a vital foundational tool for material research since it was first created 150 years ago. Now, researchers add an entirely new dimension to the table, offering a new set of ...
