Features of the Scanning Tunneling Microscope
The scanning tunneling microscope (STM) invented by Heinrich Rohrer and Gerd Binnig in the 1980s still manages to do a great job today and competes with more advanced microscope types. The scanning tunneling microscope is used for studying the surface atoms that are found on various materials. The...

Use of diamonds
Diamond is a crystalline modification of pure carbon formed in the deep interior of the Earth, in the upper mantle at depths of more than 80-100 kilometers, at exceptionally high pressure and temperature. It is the most precious stone, the hardest and most wear-resistant mineral, the most...

The study of the energy transfers accompanying physical and chemical processes.
The most expensive metal in the world
Do you think the most expensive metal is gold? No! On earth there are more valuable metals. But we need to divide the value of metals that occur in nature, and metals - isotopes, which are obtained in special laboratories. Let’s look at natural metals first.
Alkenes (Olefins)
Unsaturated hydrocarbons that contain one or more carbon-carbon double bonds.
Single Bond
Covalent bond resulting from the sharing of two electrons (one pair) between two atoms.
Active Metal
Metal with low ionization energy that loses electrons readily to form cations.
Debye
The unit used to express dipole moments.
Accuracy
How closely a measured value agrees with the correct value.
Dipole
Refers to the separation of charge between two covalently bonded atoms.
Molecular Equation
Equation for a chemical reaction in which all formulas are written as if all substances existed as molecules, only complete formulas are used.
