What’s Crystalline Silica?

Crystalline silica is a chemical compound found in all regions of the Earth, commonly used in manufacturing, glass production, and construction. It can cause silicosis if inhaled, so caution is necessary. Crystalline silica is the scientific name for a chemical compound, SiO2, which is found in all regions of the Earth and in all layers […]

What’s crystalline field theory?

Crystal field theory explains the energetic properties of transition metal compounds, including color and texture, but cannot describe their bonds. Developed in the 1930s, it was combined with ligand field theory to better understand bonding. The theory describes the interaction between metal and non-metal atoms, and the stable energy fields they generate. It is particularly […]
