  2. VSEPR theory - Wikipedia

    Xenon hexafluoride, which has a distorted octahedral geometry. Some AX 6 E 1 molecules, e.g. xenon hexafluoride (XeF 6) and the Te(IV) and Bi(III) anions, TeCl 2− 6, TeBr 2− 6, BiCl 3− 6, BiBr 3− 6 and BiI 3− 6, are octahedral, rather than pentagonal pyramids, and the lone pair does not affect the geometry to the degree predicted by ...

  3. Lode coordinates - Wikipedia

    The octahedral plane is sometimes referred to as the 'pi plane' [10] or 'deviatoric plane'. [11] The octahedral profile is not necessarily constant for different values of pressure with the notable exceptions of the von Mises yield criterion and the Tresca yield criterion which are constant for all values of pressure.

  4. Trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonal_pyramidal...

    However, the three hydrogen atoms are repelled by the electron lone pair in a way that the geometry is distorted to a trigonal pyramid (regular 3-sided pyramid) with bond angles of 107°. In contrast, boron trifluoride is flat, adopting a trigonal planar geometry because the boron does not have a lone pair of electrons.

  5. Capped octahedral molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capped_octahedral...

    Examples of the capped octahedral molecular geometry are the heptafluoromolybdate (MoF − 7) and the heptafluorotungstate (WF − 7) ions. [3] [4] The "distorted octahedral geometry" exhibited by some AX 6 E 1 molecules such as xenon hexafluoride (XeF 6) is a variant of this geometry, with the lone pair occupying the "cap" position.

  6. Distortion (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, the distortion is a measure of the amount by which a function from the Euclidean plane to itself distorts circles to ellipses. If the distortion of a function is equal to one, then it is conformal; if the distortion is bounded and the function is a homeomorphism, then it is quasiconformal. The distortion of a function ƒ of the ...

  7. Octahedral symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octahedral_symmetry

    O h, *432, [4,3], or m3m of order 48 – achiral octahedral symmetry or full octahedral symmetry. This group has the same rotation axes as O, but with mirror planes, comprising both the mirror planes of T d and T h. This group is isomorphic to S 4.C 2, and is the full symmetry group of the cube and octahedron. It is the hyperoctahedral group ...

  8. Symmetry number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_number

    A sphere colored to show the 48 fundamental domains of octahedral symmetry. The symmetry number or symmetry order of an object is the number of different but indistinguishable (or equivalent) arrangements (or views) of the object, that is, it is the order of its symmetry group. The object can be a molecule, crystal lattice, lattice, tiling, or ...

  9. Geodesic polyhedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodesic_polyhedron

    For example, the icosahedron is {3,5+} 1,0, and pentakis dodecahedron, {3,5+} 1,1 is seen as a regular dodecahedron with pentagonal faces divided into 5 triangles. The primary face of the subdivision is called a principal polyhedral triangle (PPT) or the breakdown structure. Calculating a single PPT allows the entire figure to be created.
