Our present knowledge of nuclear structure attempts to explain nuclear properties on the basis of nucleons resonating as protons and neutrons with very strong, short-range forces acting between them. The nature of the forces between these elementary particles are not…

Bonds are broken and formed in all chemical reactions. A knowledge of the dissociation energies of the relevant bonds helps one to predict the ease by which a given reaction may take place. It is obvious, therefore, that such information…

Chemical changes involve the breaking of bonds in the reacting molecules and the formation of bonds in the products; they are usually accompanied by energy changes. Although the stability of a molecule or a radical, as expressed in terms of…
