To understand which molecules are nonpolar, it's helpful to look at some examples: Diatomic Molecules: Molecules consisting ...

Chemists have found that the all-cis isomer of hexafluorocyclohexane, a molecule that made headlines last year for being the most polar aliphatic compound known, is capable of binding both cations and ...

New York, NY—May 3, 2013—Columbia Engineering researchers have developed a technique to isolate a single water molecule inside a buckyball, or C60, and to drive motion of the so-called "big" nonpolar ...

Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) play a pivotal role in stratospheric chemistry, particularly in the processes that lead to ozone depletion. Formed under extreme cold conditions in the polar ...

Chemists have made the all-cis isomer of 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexafluorocyclohexane, a crystalline ring molecule with all six fluorines pointing “up” and all six hydrogens pointing “down.” This compound is ...
