Core Electron Bonding at Low Pressure in Alkali Metals
Core Electron Bonding at Low Pressure: A New View of Chemical Bonds It’s long been taught that core electrons—the deeply buried electrons closest to the nucleus—don’t take part in chemical bonding. They’re considered too tightly held to be influenced by neighboring atoms’ electrons, leaving the outer, or valence, electrons to do the bonding work. Yet…
