Scientists accidentally created a new compound called gold hydride, showing how extreme conditions can push familiar ...

Metalloproteins play indispensable roles in biology owing to the versatile chemical reactivity of metal centres. However, studying their reactivity in many metalloproteins is challenging, as protein ...

The salt of the metal produced in the reaction depends on the acid used. Salts are named following the rules in this table.

Alkali metals can react explosively with water and it is textbook knowledge that this vigorous behaviour results from heat release, steam formation and ignition of the hydrogen gas that is produced.
