Inner core electrons are expected to have a peanut like wavefunction as is shown for Si 2 s electrons (right). In the C-C bond, however, the C1s electrons form a torus like feature of opposite ...

You probably learned in high school chemistry class that core electrons don't participate in chemical bonding. They're thought to be too deep inside an atom and close to the nucleus to meaningfully ...

A University at Buffalo study provides new insights about core electrons, including their role in the B1-B2 transition that sees a compound's atomic crystal structure rearrange from an octahedral ...
