Calculations Show A Basic Rule of Chemistry Can Be Broken

A Basic Rule of Chemistry Can Be Broken, Calculations Show: Scientific American "Most of us learned in high school chemistry class that chemical bonds can only form when electrons are shared or given away from one atom’s outer shell to another’s. But this may not be strictly true. A chemist has calculated that under very high pressure not just the outer electrons but the inner ones, too, could form bonds."

Knowledge are not fixed. There may be many such examples with the technology getting more and more advanced.
