  2. Square pyramidal molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_pyramidal_molecular...

    Thus even though the geometry is rarely seen as the ground state, it is accessed by a low energy distortion from a trigonal bipyramid. Pseudorotation also occurs in square pyramidal molecules. Molecules with this geometry, as opposed to trigonal bipyramidal, exhibit heavier vibration. The mechanism used is similar to the Berry mechanism.

  3. Ground state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_state

    The ground state of a quantum-mechanical system is its stationary state of lowest energy; the energy of the ground state is known as the zero-point energy of the system. An excited state is any state with energy greater than the ground state. In quantum field theory, the ground state is usually called the vacuum state or the vacuum. If more ...

  4. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    Molecular geometry is the three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms that constitute a molecule. It includes the general shape of the molecule as well as bond lengths , bond angles , torsional angles and any other geometrical parameters that determine the position of each atom.

  5. Trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    3, and the sulfite ion, SO 2− 3. In organic chemistry, molecules which have a trigonal pyramidal geometry are sometimes described as sp 3 hybridized. The AXE method for VSEPR theory states that the classification is AX 3 E 1. Phosphine, an example of a molecule with a trigonal pyramidal geometry.

  6. Wallowing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallowing

    While many have suggested that pigs wallow in mud because of a lack of sweat glands, pigs and other wallowing animals may have not evolved functional sweat glands because wallowing was a part of their behavioural repertoire. [7] Pigs are genetically related to animals such as hippopotamus and whales. It has been argued that wallowing behaviour ...

  7. Higgs boson - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_boson

    The ground state of the Higgs field (the bottom of the potential) is degenerate with different ground states related to each other by a SU(2) gauge transformation. It is always possible to pick a gauge such that in the ground state ϕ 1 = ϕ 2 = ϕ 3 = 0 {\displaystyle \phi ^{1}=\phi ^{2}=\phi ^{3}=0} .

    Pork belly cut, showing layers of muscle and fat A pig being slow-roasted on a rotisserie. Pork is the culinary name for the meat of the pig (Sus domesticus).It is the most commonly consumed meat worldwide, [1] with evidence of pig husbandry dating back to 5000 BCE.

  9. Pigging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigging

    The pigging installation shown (right) is known as an Above Ground Installation (AGI). It is part of the UK's National Transmission System for natural gas. It shows two pig launcher/ receivers at the end of two 610-millimetre (24 in) diameter pipelines that carry gas under the River Thames, between East Tilbury in Essex and Shorne in Kent.
