Figure 1: Valence states of the triangular and tetrahedral elementary blocks. Note that the duet rule elucidated here is akin to the textbook octet rule, a well-known and the first chemical rule of ...

A group of researchers from Ehime University investigated valence electron configurations using light, expanding on prior studies of superconductors and quantum spin liquids. The findings were ...

The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was experimentally observed for the first time by a team led by Nagoya University in Japan. As the ...
