This is the chemical symbol for chlorine, written with its mass number and atomic number. ... The electronic structure of sodium can also be shown in a diagram.

For the study, the researchers used a technique called protein X-ray crystallography to determine the atomic-resolution structure of a part of the 3-subunit called the 'immunoglobulin domain'.

Atomic-level studies of the architecture of tiny sodium channel proteins, critical to generating electrical signals that start off each beat of the heart, are imparting striking details about ...

Light elements such as alkali metal (lithium, sodium) or halogen (fluorine, chlorine) are present in various substances and indeed play significant roles in our life. Although atomic behaviours of ...

The outermost shell contains 1 electron, which makes sodium highly reactive and likely to form chemical bonds. Understanding the atomic structure helps explain why elements have different ...

Chlorine gas is produced at one electrode, and hydrogen gas - split off from the water molecules in the brine - at the other, leaving behind a solution of sodium hydroxide, also known as caustic soda.

WE publish this week, as a special supplement, the substance of an address by Prof. N. Bohr on the development of the theory of atomic structure, and in particular of the latest form and ...
