  2. Crystal structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_structure

    In crystallography, crystal structure is a description of ordered arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in a crystalline material. [1] Ordered structures occur from intrinsic nature of constituent particles to form symmetric patterns that repeat along the principal directions of three-dimensional space in matter.

    The random network structure of glassy SiO 2 in two-dimensions. Note that, as in the crystal, each silicon atom is bonded to 4 oxygen atoms, where the fourth oxygen atom is obscured from view in this plane. The periodic crystalline lattice structure of SiO 2 in two-dimensions

  4. Water - Wikipedia

    Tetrahedral structure of water. In a water molecule, the hydrogen atoms form a 104.5° angle with the oxygen atom. The hydrogen atoms are close to two corners of a tetrahedron centered on the oxygen. At the other two corners are lone pairs of valence electrons that do not participate in the bonding. In a perfect tetrahedron, the atoms would ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_crystal

    The symmetric shapes are due to depositional growth, which is when ice forms directly from water vapor in the atmosphere. [5] Small spaces in atmospheric particles can also collect water, freeze, and form ice crystals. [6] [7] This is known as nucleation. [8] Snowflakes form when additional vapor freezes onto an existing ice crystal. [9] [10]

  6. Particle in a one-dimensional lattice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_in_a_one...

    In quantum mechanics, the particle in a one-dimensional lattice is a problem that occurs in the model of a periodic crystal lattice. The potential is caused by ions in the periodic structure of the crystal creating an electromagnetic field so electrons are subject to a regular potential inside the lattice.

    2 O consists of [Fe(H 2 O) 6] 2+ centers and one "lattice water". Water is typically a monodentate ligand, i.e., it forms only one bond with the central atom. [89] Some hydrogen-bonding contacts in FeSO 4. 7H 2 O. This metal aquo complex crystallizes with one molecule of "lattice" water, which interacts with the sulfate and with the [Fe(H 2 O ...

  8. Atomic lattice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_lattice

    Atomic lattice may refer to: In mineralogy, atomic lattice refers to the arrangement of atoms into a crystal structure. In order theory, a lattice is called an atomic lattice if the underlying partial order is atomic. In chemistry, atomic lattice refers to the arrangement of atoms in an atomic crystalline solid

  9. Liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid

    A liquid is made up of tiny vibrating particles of matter, such as atoms, held together by intermolecular bonds. Like a gas, a liquid is able to flow and take the shape of a container. Unlike a gas, a liquid maintains a fairly constant density and does not disperse to fill every space of a container.
