  2. Coordinate time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_time

    A fuller explanation of the concept of coordinate time arises from its relations with proper time and with clock synchronization. Synchronization, along with the related concept of simultaneity, has to receive careful definition in the framework of general relativity theory, because many of the assumptions inherent in classical mechanics and classical accounts of space and time had to be removed.

  3. Proper time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_time

    The proper time interval between two events on a world line is the change in proper time, which is independent of coordinates, and is a Lorentz scalar. [1] The interval is the quantity of interest, since proper time itself is fixed only up to an arbitrary additive constant, namely the setting of the clock at some event along the world line.

  4. Coordination number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordination_number

    The most common coordination number for d-block transition metal complexes is 6. The coordination number does not distinguish the geometry of such complexes, i.e. octahedral vs trigonal prismatic. For transition metal complexes, coordination numbers range from 2 (e.g., Au I in Ph 3 PAuCl) to 9 (e.g., Re VII in [ReH 9] 2−).

  5. Geometry index - Wikipedia

    where: β > α are the two greatest valence angles of coordination center; θ = cos −1 (− 1 ⁄ 3) ≈ 109.5° is a tetrahedral angle. Extreme values of τ 4 and τ 4 ′ denote exactly the same geometries, however τ 4 ′ is always less or equal to τ 4 so the deviation from ideal tetrahedral geometry is more visible.

  6. Coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_system

    The simplest example of a coordinate system is the identification of points on a line with real numbers using the number line.In this system, an arbitrary point O (the origin) is chosen on a given line.

    Here, is the spring constant, is the distance between two nearest-neighbor nodes, the average coordination number of the network (note that here / and /), and = in 3D. A similar formula has been derived for 2D networks where the prefactor is 1 / 18 {\displaystyle 1/18} instead of 1 / 30 {\displaystyle 1/30} .

  9. Orders of magnitude (time) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(time)

    Clock time and calendar time have duodecimal or sexagesimal orders of magnitude rather than decimal, e.g., a year is 12 months, and a minute is 60 seconds. The smallest meaningful increment of time is the Planck time―the time light takes to traverse the Planck distance, many decimal orders of magnitude smaller than a second. [1]
