Metals can react with water, acid and oxygen. The reactivity of the metal determines which reactions the metal participates in. Watch this video to see a practical investigation into the reactivity of ...

Metals react differently. Some are very reactive and others are unreactive. Observations of reactions can be used to put metals into an order of reactivity. For example, copper is unreactive so it can ...

Scientists have long noted with interest that in one of nature's crucial chemical reactions—the oxygen evolution reaction—it ...

There are 118 elements known at present. There are similarities as well as differences are the properties of these elements on the basis of their, all the element can be divided three types: Metal; ...

In a paper published in the journal Chemistry of Materials, the scientists explain that metal electrolysis is a process in which a metal oxide, the ore, is zapped with electricity to create pure metal ...

The discovery of graphene—a one-atom-thick sheet of covalently bonded carbon atoms—inspired the research community to generate a variety of 2D materials. Graphene, MoS 2, the silicon equivalent of ...

Sometimes, less really is more. By removing oxygen during synthesis, a team led by materials scientists at Penn State has ...
