A new approach to an established reaction boosts the ability to synthesize vinylic ethers - key building blocks for many molecules important to human health.

For many houseplant owners, mastering the art of watering indoor plants can be tough. If you tend to overwater, this hydrogen ...

Each oxygen atom has 6 valence electrons in its outer energy level. When the oxygen atoms get close together, the attractions from the nucleus of both atoms attract the outer electrons from the other ...

Tell students that the oxygen atom attracts electrons a little more strongly than hydrogen does. So even though the electrons from each atom are attracted by both the oxygen and the hydrogen, the ...

A team of chemists at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology has succeeded in pulling an oxygen atom from a molecule and replacing it with a nitrogen atom. In their study ...

Single-atom editing under mild conditions was achieved for heterocyclics, thanks to a new oxygen-to-nitrogen photocatalyst.

Doesn’t water already contain hydrogen? All water molecules have two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, as shown in its chemical name, H2O.

Oxygen accounts for about 21% of Earth's air, with the rest of our atmosphere primarily nitrogen. And most living things - including people, as we well know - need oxygen to survive.
