  2. Isolobal principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolobal_principle

    Figure 1: Basic example of the isolobal analogy For his work on the isolobal analogy, Hoffmann was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1981, which he shared with Kenichi Fukui . [ 3 ] In his Nobel Prize lecture, Hoffmann stressed that the isolobal analogy is a useful, yet simple, model and thus is bound to fail in certain instances.

  3. Space-filling model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-filling_model

    A space-filling model of n-octane, the straight chain (normal) hydrocarbon composed of 8 carbons and 18 hydrogens, formulae: CH 3 CH 2 (CH 2) 4 CH 2 CH 3 or C 8 H 18.Note, the representative shown is of a single conformational "pose" of a population of molecules, which, because of low Gibbs energy barriers to rotation about its carbon-carbon bonds (giving the carbon "chain" great flexibility ...

  4. Stiff diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stiff_diagram

    Example of a Stiff diagram. A typical Stiff diagram is shown in the figure (right). By standard convention, Stiff diagrams are created by plotting the equivalent concentration of the cations to the left of the center axis and anions to the right. The points are connected to form the figure.

  5. Sphericity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphericity

    For example, the sphericity of the balls inside a ball bearing determines the quality of the bearing, such as the load it can bear or the speed at which it can turn without failing. Sphericity is a specific example of a compactness measure of a shape .

  6. Rolling contact fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_contact_fatigue

    Overview of bearing components, including bearing element and inner ring [1] Rolling Contact Fatigue (RCF) is a phenomenon that occurs in mechanical components relating to rolling/sliding contact, such as railways, gears, and bearings. [2] It is the result of the process of fatigue due to rolling/sliding contact.

  7. Roundness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundness

    Having a constant diameter, measured at varying angles around the shape, is often considered to be a simple measurement of roundness.This is misleading. [3]Although constant diameter is a necessary condition for roundness, it is not a sufficient condition for roundness: shapes exist that have constant diameter but are far from round.

  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. 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.
