The periodic table is one of the triumphs of science. Even before certain elements had been discovered, this chart could ...

A team of researchers in the US and China has calculated that extreme pressure could theoretically allow stable covalent ...

The noble gases have a particularly stable electronic configuration, comprising fully filled s and p valence orbitals. This makes these elements relatively non-reactive, and they exist at room ...

Noble Gas Helium, An Inert Element, Could Have Stable Chemical Compounds, Scientists Predict By Himanshu Goenka Published 02/06/17 AT 11:00 AM EST ...

Elements: Noble Gases Neon, argon, krypton, xenon and their uses, from the blinding light of the arc welder's torch to the dying trade of the neon sign-making. Show more ... Available now 18 minutes ...

Researchers have gained new insights into the chemical properties of the superheavy element flerovium -- element 114 -- at the accelerator facilities of the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für ...

Noble gases are notorious for their extreme disinterest in bonding with other elements. For this reason, scientists have had to work hard to force gases such as argon into stable compounds (SN: 8 ...

Noble gases are the least reactive elements. Chemists have created the first neutral compound containing the noble gas argon, leaving only two stable elements in the periodic table — helium and ...
