This is a question in "Chemical Principles, 6th Edition, Steven Zumdahl": Bond energy has been defined in the text as the amount of energy required to break a chemical bond, so we have come to think of the addition of energy as breaking bonds. However, in some cases the addition of energy can...

Are there ANY possible photographic or other types of images of a water molecule? Or are they simply too small to get an image of? Thank you.

Hello PF Let's say I have a device with three layers, A, B, and C, where layers A and C are the anode and cathode. I can measure the IV curves from that device easily. Now let's say I added a fourth layer, D, in between A and B. Layer D interacts with layer B such that it increases it's...
