Non-metal chemistry encompasses the study of elements that do not exhibit metallic bonding, including the noble gases, halogens, chalcogens, pnictogens and metalloids such as boron and silicon. These ...

Researchers have used computational design methods to develop non-metal organic porous framework materials, with potential applications in areas such as catalysis, water capture or hydrogen storage.

Transition metals occupy the central block of the periodic table, distinguished by their (n–1)d and ns valence orbitals that accommodate variable electron counts and yield multiple accessible ...
