  2. Electric dipole moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_dipole_moment

    The electric dipole moment is a measure of the separation of positive and negative electrical charges within a system: that is, a measure of the system's overall polarity. ...

  3. Seesaw molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seesaw_molecular_geometry

    The seesaw geometry occurs when a molecule has a steric number of 5, with the central atom being bonded to 4 other atoms and 1 lone pair (AX 4 E 1 in AXE notation). An atom bonded to 5 other atoms (and no lone pairs) forms a trigonal bipyramid with two axial and three equatorial positions, but in the seesaw geometry one of the atoms is replaced ...

    For example, TeF 6 slowly hydrolyzes to Te(OH) 6: TeF 6 + 6 H 2 O → Te(OH) 6 + 6 HF. Treatment of tellurium hexafluoride with tetramethylammonium fluoride (Me 4 NF) gives, sequentially, the hepta- and octafluorides: TeF 6 + Me 4 NF → Me 4 NTeF 7 Me 4 NTeF 7 + Me 4 NF → (Me 4 N) 2 TeF 8

  5. Symmetry of diatomic molecules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_of_diatomic_molecules

    Molecular symmetry in physics and chemistry describes the symmetry present in molecules and the classification of molecules according to their symmetry. Molecular symmetry is a fundamental concept in the application of Quantum Mechanics in physics and chemistry, for example it can be used to predict or explain many of a molecule's properties, such as its dipole moment and its allowed ...

    Structure of tellurium tetrachloride, tetrabromide and tetraiodide. The +2 oxidation state is exhibited by the dihalides, TeCl 2, TeBr 2 and TeI 2.The dihalides have not been obtained in pure form, [3]: 274 although they are known decomposition products of the tetrahalides in organic solvents, and the derived tetrahalotellurates are well-characterized:

  7. Reaction field method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_field_method

    Today, Ewald summation is the usual technique of choice, but for many quantities of interest both techniques yield equivalent results. For example, in Monte Carlo simulations of liquid crystals, (using both the hard spherocylinder [6] and Gay-Berne models [7]) the results from the reaction field method and Ewald summation are consistent ...

  8. 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 .

  9. Method of image charges - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_image_charges

    The method of image charges (also known as the method of images and method of mirror charges) is a basic problem-solving tool in electrostatics.The name originates from the replacement of certain elements in the original layout with fictitious charges, which replicates the boundary conditions of the problem (see Dirichlet boundary conditions or Neumann boundary conditions).
