Organic chemistry is the study of the structure and properties of carbon compounds. The field of organic chemistry covers the synthesis, isolation, purification and reactions of organic compounds and ...

ADVANCED students of organic chemistry and also research workers in this field will find in Dr. Wild's book a useful and comprehensive guide in the characterization and identification of organic ...

A new substance, unlike any on Earth, could have one of the highest melting points we've ever seen, theoretically withstanding temperatures of more than 7,460 degrees Fahrenheit. To put that into ...

Hold on, hold on! We may have a new world record here. Researchers from Brown University may have found a substance with a melting point that beats out the previous record by a few hundred degrees.

Those pristine-looking Alpine glaciers now melting as global warming sets in may explain the mysterious increase in persistent organic pollutants in sediment from certain lakes since the 1990s, ...

Ionic bonds are very strong so the melting point of an ionic compound is high. Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in the solid state because their ions are unable to move about. However, if an ...
