  2. Form factor (design) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_factor_(design)

    Comparison of some common motherboard form factors (pen for scale). Form factor is a hardware design aspect that defines and prescribes the size, shape, and other physical specifications of components, particularly in electronics.

  3. Scale factor (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_factor_(computer...

    In computer science, a scale factor is a number used as a multiplier to represent a number on a different scale, functioning similarly to an exponent in mathematics. A scale factor is used when a real-world set of numbers needs to be represented on a different scale in order to fit a specific number format .

    A compound semiconductor is a semiconductor compound composed of chemical elements of at least two different species. These semiconductors form for example in periodic table groups 13–15 (old groups III–V), for example of elements from the Boron group (old group III, boron, aluminium, gallium, indium) and from group 15 (old group V, nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, bismuth).

  5. Liquid-crystal display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-crystal_display

    When no voltage is applied, the liquid crystals remain perpendicular to the substrate, creating a black display between crossed polarizers. When voltage is applied, the liquid crystals shift to a tilted position, allowing light to pass through and create a gray-scale display depending on the amount of tilt generated by the electric field.

    The 2s electron is lithium's only valence electron, as the 1s subshell is now too tightly bound to the nucleus to participate in chemical bonding to other atoms: such a shell is called a "core shell". The 1s subshell is a core shell for all elements from lithium onward. The 2s subshell is completed by the next element beryllium (1s 2 2s 2). The ...

  7. Fire triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_triangle

    When the fire involves burning metals like lithium, magnesium, titanium, [6] etc. (known as a class-D fire), it becomes even more important to consider the energy release. Because the metals react faster with water than with oxygen and thereby more energy is released, putting water on such a fire results in the fire getting hotter or even ...

  8. Aerial photographic and satellite image interpretation

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_photographic_and...

    It is important to remember that texture is a product of scale. On a large scale depiction, objects could appear to have an intermediate texture. But, as the scale becomes smaller, the texture could appear to be more uniform, or smooth. A few examples of texture could be the “smoothness” of a paved road, or the “coarseness” a pine forest.

  9. Diagonal relationship - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagonal_relationship

    Li is the only group 1 element which forms a stable nitride, Li 3 N. [4] Mg, as well as other group 2 elements, also form nitrides. [4] Lithium carbonate, phosphate and fluoride are sparingly soluble in water. The corresponding group 2 salts are insoluble. (Think lattice and solvation energies). Both Li and Mg form covalent organometallic compounds
