  2. Hexagonal crystal family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_crystal_family

    However, the rhombohedral axes are often shown (for the rhombohedral lattice) in textbooks because this cell reveals the 3 m symmetry of the crystal lattice. The rhombohedral unit cell for the hexagonal Bravais lattice is the D-centered [ 1 ] cell, consisting of two additional lattice points which occupy one body diagonal of the unit cell with ...

  3. Goldschmidt tolerance factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldschmidt_Tolerance_Factor

    Alternatively the tolerance factor can be used to calculate the compatibility of an ion with a crystal structure. [ 3 ] The first description of the tolerance factor for perovskite was made by Victor Moritz Goldschmidt in 1926.

  4. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    Trigonal planar: Molecules with the trigonal planar shape are somewhat triangular and in one plane (flat). Consequently, the bond angles are set at 120°. For example, boron trifluoride. Angular: Angular molecules (also called bent or V-shaped) have a non-linear shape. For example, water (H 2 O), which has an angle of about 105°. A water ...

  5. Bond length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_length

    The existence of a very long C–C bond length of up to 290 pm is claimed in a dimer of two tetracyanoethylene dianions, although this concerns a 2-electron-4-center bond. [4] [5] This type of bonding has also been observed in neutral phenalenyl dimers. The bond lengths of these so-called "pancake bonds" [6] are up to 305 pm.

  6. Pauling's rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauling's_rules

    For typical ionic solids, the cations are smaller than the anions, and each cation is surrounded by coordinated anions which form a polyhedron.The sum of the ionic radii determines the cation-anion distance, while the cation-anion radius ratio + / (or /) determines the coordination number (C.N.) of the cation, as well as the shape of the coordinated polyhedron of anions.

  7. Crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_system

    The diamond crystal structure belongs to the face-centered cubic lattice, with a repeated two-atom pattern.. In crystallography, a crystal system is a set of point groups (a group of geometric symmetries with at least one fixed point).

  8. Rhombohedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombohedron

    It can be used to define the rhombohedral lattice system, a honeycomb with rhombohedral cells. A rhombohedron has two opposite apices at which all face angles are equal; a prolate rhombohedron has this common angle acute, and an oblate rhombohedron has an obtuse angle at these vertices.

  9. Ionic radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_radius

    Ionic radius, r ion, is the radius of a monatomic ion in an ionic crystal structure. Although neither atoms nor ions have sharp boundaries, they are treated as if they were hard spheres with radii such that the sum of ionic radii of the cation and anion gives the distance between the ions in a crystal lattice .
