Heres a tricky (trick?) question from the final exam of MITx course Introduction to Solid State Chemistry: Which compound has the higher boiling point, phosphorus trifluoride (PF3) or phosphorus pentafluoride (PF5)? Naturally, you are supposed to figure this...

Grasping the abstract models chemists use to understand what holds a molecule together its bonding is one of the major goals of the general chemistry course I am teaching this semester. Understanding the bonding in a molecule is the key to...
I was away at a conference last week. One of those great small conferences where you can spend a lot of time interacting with people outside of the talks. It was great. I'm convinced the best science is discussed over beer and wine. I titled this blog post...

This list of July USANs has been copied over (with thanks) from the ChEMBL blog to follow up a few things. I chose it because as small list I could quickly do three things 1) an (exact match) Google count of the name, 2) the same with the...
