Electronegativity is one of the most well-known models for explaining why chemical reactions occur. Now scientists have redefined the concept with a new, more comprehensive scale. Electronegativity is ...

A Skoltech professor and his Chinese colleagues have revised a key chemical concept, electronegativity, and determined this characteristic for all elements under varying pressures. The revamped notion ...

Electron transfer is the most elementary process in nature, but the existing electron transfer rules are seldom applied to high-pressure situations, such as in the deep Earth. Here we show a deep ...
