The little spheres represent water molecules. Molecules are in constant motion. The attractions water molecules have for each other keep them close together. They can move past each other, but their ...

Small molecules have critical roles at all levels of biological complexity and yet remain orphans of the central dogma. Chemical biologists, working with small molecules, expand our understanding ...

"There seems to be no limit for the degree of chemical complexity that interstellar space is able to fabricate." ...

"By learning more about how these molecules form and are transported in space, we learn more about our own solar system and so, the life within it." Astronomers have discovered one of the largest ...

Scientists in the UK have investigated the phenomenon of shape-selectivity in shape-shifting molecules – molecules that adopt different configurations depending on their environment. Most synthetic ...

Water molecules are so attracted to each other that even after the balloon pops, the water molecules stay together keeping the shape of the balloon. In the water molecule, the oxygen and hydrogen ...

This is due to the shape of the molecule. Water molecules are polar molecules. Both of the bonds inside the molecule are polar bonds. Due to the non-symmetrical shape of the molecule (bent), the ...
