A solution with a pH value which is less than 7 is acidic. The acids which react with metals usually have quite a low pH, of either 3 or less. Some metals react with acids and when they do the ...

The reactivity series is a list that shows the order of reactivity of some common metals. Calcium (Ca) Reacts vigorously with strong heating. Brick red flame observed and white solid formed. 2Ca + O 2 ...

Gallium’s quirky liquid-state properties have pushed that element into the scientific spotlight recently, as researchers have tapped the liquid metal for applications in stretchable electronics and ...

Researchers have revealed how some non-metal compounds mimic the behavior of their metal-based counterparts in chemical reactions. The research team led by Academy Research Fellow Heikki M. Tuononen ...

These reactions play a huge role in the catalysis-driven creation of common chemical platforms such as methanol, which is produced on the order of 10 million tons per year as raw material for ...

Organic molecules are an excellent and easy way of modifying the properties of metal surfaces. What probably started in prehistoric times as animal fats covering the surface of the first bronze tools ...

The reaction to synthetic chemist Hua-Jian Xu’s article started like a dripping faucet. Nature Catalysis published Xu’s paper online on Jan. 18, 2021 (DOI: 10.1038/s41929-020-00564-z), and over the ...
