A new study led by the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has ...

After seeing this video of how the War Department dealt with surplus sodium in 1947, I’m not so sure. I had always known how reactive sodium is, ever since demonstrations in chemistry class ...

The strategic distribution of sodium and boron sites enhances reactivity, forming a frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) motif when exposed to hydrogen. This FLP-based approach offers a sustainable ...

He also gave the reaction a jump-start with a small amount of sodium metal, which can be produced by the lower-yielding but far more spectacular thermochemical dioxane method; lithium harvested ...

A little water helps expose the sodium so it can react with the chlorine gas. The reaction releases a lot of heat as the ionic compound sodium chloride is formed. A sodium and chlorine atom are near ...

This is known as tarnishing. Sodium tarnishes more quickly than lithium, which is further evidence for the greater reactivity of sodium when compared to lithium. Potassium tarnishes so quickly ...

Colourless solution remains. Reaction too dangerous to be attempted. Most reactive Sodium (Na) Reacts vigorously. Floats on the surface. Moves and fizzes. Melts to form a silvery ball. Heat is ...

A new paper has demonstrated that improving the texture of the soft metal used in battery anodes greatly improved performance. The team added a thin layer of silicon between lithium metal and the ...

the researchers uncovered how the sodium-doped SiBN material interacted with hydrogen at a molecular level. They found that the unique structure of this material enhanced the reactivity of boron ...
