  2. 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 .

  3. Allotropes of arsenic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotropes_of_arsenic

    The overall structure displays a distorted octahedral geometry, resulting in the largely metallic properties of this allotrope. Upon sublimation at 616 °C, the gas phase arsenic molecules lose this packing arrangement and form small clusters of As 4, As 2, and As, though As 4 is by far the most abundant in this phase. [1]

  4. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    Gas electron diffraction can be used for small molecules in the gas phase. NMR and FRET methods can be used to determine complementary information including relative distances, [4] [5] [6] dihedral angles, [7] [8] angles, and connectivity. Molecular geometries are best determined at low temperature because at higher temperatures the molecular ...

  5. Tetrahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedron

    Tetrahedra subdivision is a process used in computational geometry and 3D modeling to divide a tetrahedron into several smaller tetrahedra. This process enhances the complexity and detail of tetrahedral meshes, which is particularly beneficial in numerical simulations, finite element analysis, and computer graphics.

  6. Propellane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propellane

    It is believed to polymerize above 50 K. The bonds of the shared carbons have an inverted tetrahedral geometry; the compound's strain energy was estimated as 106 kcal/mol. [16] [2.2.1]Propellane, C 7 H 10, CAS number 36120-90-8 (F. Walker, K. Wiberg, and J. Michl, 1982). Obtained gas-phase dehalogenation with alkali metal atoms. Stable only in ...

  7. Geometrical frustration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical_frustration

    In the hexagonal or cubic ice phase the oxygen ions form a tetrahedral structure with an O–O bond length 2.76 Å (276 pm), while the O–H bond length measures only 0.96 Å (96 pm). Every oxygen (white) ion is surrounded by four hydrogen ions (black) and each hydrogen ion is surrounded by 2 oxygen ions, as shown in Figure 5.

  8. Second-order Jahn-Teller distortion in main-group element ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-order_Jahn-Teller...

    The exact electronic configuration, however, is dependent on the electronegativity of the main group element. The distortion to tetrahedral geometry has b 2u symmetry. For these A P H 4 systems, the a 2u →b 1g * and e u →e g * one-electron charge-transfer transitions are most active in the b 2u mode.

    In contrast, the extra stability of the 7p 1/2 electrons in tennessine are predicted to make TsF 3 trigonal planar, unlike the T-shaped geometry observed for IF 3 and predicted for AtF 3; [39] similarly, OgF 4 should have a tetrahedral geometry, while XeF 4 has a square planar geometry and RnF 4 is predicted to have the same.
