Phosphorus is an element found in rocks and soil, but not air. It’s in molecules like DNA and RNA, your genetic blueprints, and ATP, the chemical energy you use to fuel your body. Alone, phosphorus is ...

Those elements combine with one another in endless amalgamations to create a vast array of molecules, which are the architecture, the building blocks, of everything around you.

The iPad app (also available as a physical book, only without all the interactive bits) is, to be fair, a little less comprehensive; after all, when you have some 118 identified chemical elements ...

Molecules are made when two or more atoms chemically bond together. Atoms from different elements can combine. When the atoms are from different elements, the molecule can also be called a compound.

So, all compounds are molecules, and some elements are too. Back to top. The periodic table. All the different elements are arranged in a chart called the periodic table.

The periodic table of elements was proposed in 1869, and thereafter became one of the cornerstones of the natural sciences. This table was designed to contain all the elements (atoms) found in nature ...

It's difficult to overstate just how surprisingly early to the party this water may have been. “This suggests that water, the ...

Small molecules have critical roles at all levels of biological complexity and yet remain orphans of the central dogma. Chemical biologists, working with small molecules, expand our understanding ...
