Some years ago at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I taught a one-semester inorganic course for BS chemistry majors. During the class we covered all the noncarbon elements in a ...

The article “Green Fuels for Shipping” was quite fascinating, and it seemed to be trying to be comprehensive, but there was a loose end that I couldn’t help but wonder about (C&EN, Feb. 28, 2022, page ...

The availability of low-cost, high-capacity energy storage technology could profoundly change today's energy landscape. The ability to store electricity when supplies are abundant and deliver it later ...

A dilute solution of bromine is added to samples of heptane and cyclohexene. The bromination reactions and mechanisms are compared. UV light splits the bromine molecule into two reactive radicals, ...

The novel electrodes effectively suppress the crossover of bromine and bromine complexes, thus preventing self-discharge and enhancing the electrochemical performance and cycling stability of flowless ...

Bromine was first identified as a chemical element in 1826 by French chemist Antoine Balard. He isolated it from chlorine and found that, in its elemental form, bromine is a highly volatile, ...

Chlorine and bromine in their molecular form (as Cl 2 and Br 2 molecules) are notoriously toxic and corrosive chemicals. This has been tragically illustrated, for example, in the use of chlorine as a ...

When chlorine (as a gas or dissolved in water) is added to sodium bromide solution, the chlorine takes the place of the bromine. Because chlorine is more reactive than bromine, it displaces bromine ...
