Discovery of researchers from the Centre of New Technologies at the University of Warsaw concerning the oxidation states of chemical elements. Oxidation state usually takes the values from –4 up to +8, and even +9 in one case. Scientists from Centre of New Technologies have done advanced quatum-mechanical calculations and on this ground, they propose several simple molecules, where oxidation state is +9, and even could reach the value of +10. Oxidation state is a number […] >>
