Þingvellir (Icelandic: ˈθiŋkˌvɛtlɪr̥, anglicized as Thingvellir) is historically known to be the place where the first parliamentary assembly of Iceland was formed in the year…

Molecular orbital (MO) theory describes the behavior of electrons in a molecule in terms of combinations of the atomic wavefunctions. In chemistry, Molecular orbital (MO)…

A hydrotrope is a compound that solubilizes hydrophobic compounds in aqueous solutions by means other than micellar solubilization. They are water-soluble, surface-active compounds that can…

Electricity is everywhere in our lives. From the voltage that comes from the wall to power our lights, to the batteries in our phones and…

Micellar solubilization (or solubilization) is a powerful alternative for dissolving hydrophobic drugs in aqueous environments. It is the process of incorporating the solubilizate into or…

An acid is a chemical that gives off hydrogen ions in water and forms salts by combining with certain metals. Acidity is measured on a…

A solvated electron is a free electron in (solvated in) a solution and is the smallest possible anion. They are typically generated by radiolysis or…

Vitamin K is known as the “blood-clotting vitamin” for its important role in healing wounds. The “K” is derived from the German word koagulation. Vitamin…
