  2. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    The position of each atom is determined by the nature of the chemical bonds by which it is connected to its neighboring atoms. The molecular geometry can be described by the positions of these atoms in space, evoking bond lengths of two joined atoms, bond angles of three connected atoms, and torsion angles (dihedral angles) of three consecutive ...

  3. Seesaw molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seesaw_molecular_geometry

    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 by a lone pair of electrons, which is always in an equatorial position. This is true because the lone pair occupies more space near the central atom (A) than does a ...

  4. Diamond cubic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_cubic

    Rotating model of the diamond cubic crystal structure 3D ball-and-stick model of a diamond lattice Pole figure in stereographic projection of the diamond lattice showing the 3-fold symmetry along the [111] direction. In crystallography, the diamond cubic crystal structure is a repeating pattern of 8 atoms that certain materials may adopt as ...

  5. Stereochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereochemistry

    Stereochemistry, a subdiscipline of chemistry, studies the spatial arrangement of atoms that form the structure of molecules and their manipulation. [1] The study of stereochemistry focuses on the relationships between stereoisomers, which are defined as having the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms (constitution) but differing in the geometric positioning of the atoms in space.

  6. Molecular graphics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_graphics

    The individual atoms of the polypeptide have been hidden. All of the non-hydrogen atoms in the two ligands are shown near the top of the diagram. Ribbon diagrams are schematic representations of protein structure and are one of the most common methods of protein depiction used today. The ribbon shows the overall path and organization of the ...

  7. Molecularium Project - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecularium_Project

    It is available in 2D & 3D for 15/70 and 8/70 large format film and in digital 3D. The film has been composed with Omnimax / IMAX Domes in mind. Molecules to the MAX! was nominated for Best Film Produced for the Giant Screen, Best Film for Lifelong Learning and Best Sound Design at the 2010 GSCA’s Achievement Awards. [ 21 ]

  8. Atomic spacing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_spacing

    Atomic spacing refers to the distance between the nuclei of atoms in a material. This space is extremely large compared to the size of the atomic nucleus, and is related to the chemical bonds which bind atoms together. [1] In solid materials, the atomic spacing is described by the bond lengths of its atoms.

  9. Atomic orbital - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_orbital

    For atoms with two or more electrons, the governing equations can be solved only with the use of methods of iterative approximation. Orbitals of multi-electron atoms are qualitatively similar to those of hydrogen, and in the simplest models, they are taken to have the same form. For more rigorous and precise analysis, numerical approximations ...
