  2. Tetrahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedron

    The characteristic tetrahedron of the cube is an example of a Heronian tetrahedron. ... A regular tetrahedron has Coxeter diagram and Schläfli symbol {3,3}. T d T [3,3]

  3. Tetrahedral molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedral_molecular_geometry

    In a tetrahedral molecular geometry, a central atom is located at the center with four substituents that are located at the corners of a tetrahedron.The bond angles are arccos(− ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠) = 109.4712206...° ≈ 109.5° when all four substituents are the same, as in methane (CH 4) [1] [2] as well as its heavier analogues.

  4. Tetrahedral symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedral_symmetry

    A regular tetrahedron, an example of a solid with full tetrahedral symmetry. A regular tetrahedron has 12 rotational (or orientation-preserving) symmetries, and a symmetry order of 24 including transformations that combine a reflection and a rotation.

  5. Fire triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_triangle

    A fire can be prevented or extinguished by removing any one of the elements in the fire triangle. For example, covering a fire with a fire blanket blocks oxygen and can extinguish a fire. In large fires where firefighters are called in, decreasing the amount of oxygen is not usually an option because there is no effective way to make that ...

  6. Bond graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_graph

    The adjacent image shows the tetrahedron in its generalized form. The tetrahedron can be modified depending on the energy domain. Using the tetrahedron of state, one can find a mathematical relationship between any variables on the tetrahedron. This is done by following the arrows around the diagram and multiplying any constants along the way.

  7. VSEPR theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSEPR_theory

    The four electron pairs are spread so as to point roughly towards the apices of a tetrahedron. However, the bond angle between the two O–H bonds is only 104.5°, rather than the 109.5° of a regular tetrahedron, because the two lone pairs (whose density or probability envelopes lie closer to the oxygen nucleus) exert a greater mutual ...

  8. Compound of five tetrahedra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_of_five_tetrahedra

    The compound of five tetrahedra is a geometric illustration of the notion of orbits and stabilizers, as follows.. The symmetry group of the compound is the (rotational) icosahedral group I of order 60, while the stabilizer of a single chosen tetrahedron is the (rotational) tetrahedral group T of order 12, and the orbit space I/T (of order 60/12 = 5) is naturally identified with the 5 ...

  9. Symmetry group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_group

    As an example, consider the dihedral group G = D 3 = Sym(X), where X is an equilateral triangle. We may decorate this with an arrow on one edge, obtaining an asymmetric figure X # . Letting τ ∈ G be the reflection of the arrowed edge, the composite figure X + = X # ∪ τ X # has a bidirectional arrow on that edge, and its symmetry group is ...
