Researchers at the University of Oklahoma have developed a breakthrough method of adding a single nitrogen atom to molecules, unlocking new possibilities in drug research and development.

The formula is H 2 O so the dot and cross diagram includes two H atoms and one O atom. H has 1 outer electron. O has 6 outer electrons. The H circles must each overlap the O circle. Nitrogen ...

If it has 7 protons, that’s nitrogen. But the logic of the periodic table also relies upon the number and organisation of electrons in an atom. Let’s take chlorine as an example. It is ...

The nucleus of each nitrogen atom contains seven protons and seven neutrons. That is, it does until a collision happens. The incoming neutron hitting the nucleus causes a proton to shoot out of ...

realised a key component was missing from the nitrogen cycle equations. The biochemical equations would not balance unless he explicitly accounted for the transfer of electrons between compounds ...
