  2. Dodecahedral molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodecahedral_molecular...

    This shape has D 2d symmetry and is one of the three common shapes for octacoordinate transition metal complexes, along with the square antiprism and the bicapped trigonal prism. [1] [2] One example of the dodecahedral molecular geometry is the Mo(CN) 4− 8 ion. [2]

  3. Bent's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent's_rule

    Shape of water molecule showing that the real bond angle 104.5° deviates from the ideal sp 3 angle of 109.5°. In chemistry, Bent's rule describes and explains the relationship between the orbital hybridization and the electronegativities of substituents. [1] [2] The rule was stated by Henry A. Bent as follows: [2]

  4. Microscope slide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscope_slide

    A set of standard 75 by 25 mm microscope slides. The white area can be written on to label the slide. A microscope slide (top) and a cover slip (bottom) A microscope slide is a thin flat piece of glass, typically 75 by 26 mm (3 by 1 inches) and about 1 mm thick, used to hold objects for examination under a microscope.

  5. Ceramic petrography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_petrography

    Ceramic petrography (or ceramic petrology) is a laboratory-based scientific archaeological technique that examines the mineralogical and microstructural composition of ceramics and other inorganic materials under the polarised light microscope in order to interpret aspects of the provenance and technology of artefacts.

  6. Molecular symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_symmetry

    Symmetry elements of formaldehyde. C 2 is a two-fold rotation axis. σ v and σ v ' are two non-equivalent reflection planes.. In chemistry, molecular symmetry describes the symmetry present in molecules and the classification of these molecules according to their symmetry.

  7. Crystal twinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_twinning

    The third is deformation twinning, in which twinning develops in a crystal in response to a shear stress, and is an important mechanism for permanent shape changes in a crystal. Definition [ edit ]

  8. Chirality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirality

    Two enantiomers of a generic amino acid that is chiral. Chirality (/ k aɪ ˈ r æ l ɪ t i /) is a property of asymmetry important in several branches of science. The word chirality is derived from the Greek χείρ (kheir), "hand", a familiar chiral object.

  9. Constructive solid geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructive_solid_geometry

    This can be important for some manufacturing or engineering computation applications. By comparison, when creating geometry based upon boundary representations , additional topological data is required, or consistency checks must be performed to assure that the given boundary description specifies a valid solid object.
