Ionic liquids (ILs) possess unique properties that make them highly attractive for a range of applications (Box 1). As solvent media for materials synthesis, their high thermal stability and their ...

The basic principle of magneto-ionic gating involves the use of an ionic liquid or gel electrolyte that is placed between a gate electrode and the target material. When a gate voltage is applied, ions ...

The properties of elements and compounds can be explained by considering the different types of bonding present inside the molecules. All ionic compounds have a high melting point and boiling point.

Chemical bonding is the force of attraction that holds atoms together to form molecules or compounds. There are two primary types of chemical bonds: ionic and covalent bonds. Both these bonds play a ...
