  2. Dispersion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(chemistry)

    To understand the formation and properties of such dispersions (incl emulsions), it must be considered that the dispersed phase exhibits a "surface", which is covered ("wet") by a different "surface" that, hence, are forming an interface (chemistry). Both surfaces have to be created (which requires a huge amount of energy), and the interfacial ...

  3. Molecular symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_symmetry

    Symmetry elements of formaldehyde. C 2 is a two-fold rotation axis. σ v and σ v ' are two non-equivalent reflection planes.. In chemistry, molecular symmetry describes the symmetry present in molecules and the classification of these molecules according to their symmetry.

  4. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    For four atoms bonded together in a chain, the torsional angle is the angle between the plane formed by the first three atoms and the plane formed by the last three atoms. There exists a mathematical relationship among the bond angles for one central atom and four peripheral atoms (labeled 1 through 4) expressed by the following determinant.

  6. Slip (materials science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_(materials_science)

    Close-packed planes are known as slip or glide planes. A slip system describes the set of symmetrically identical slip planes and associated family of slip directions for which dislocation motion can easily occur and lead to plastic deformation. The magnitude and direction of slip are represented by the Burgers vector, b.

  7. Symmetry element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_element

    In chemistry and crystallography, a symmetry element is a point, line, or plane about which symmetry operations can take place. In particular, a symmetry element can be a mirror plane, an axis of rotation (either proper and improper), or a center of inversion.

  8. Molecular mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_mechanics

    A force field is used to minimize the bond stretching energy of this ethane molecule.. Molecular mechanics uses classical mechanics to model molecular systems. The Born–Oppenheimer approximation is assumed valid and the potential energy of all systems is calculated as a function of the nuclear coordinates using force fields.

  9. Crystal structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_structure

    Vectors and planes in a crystal lattice are described by the three-value Miller index notation. This syntax uses the indices h, k, and â„“ as directional parameters. [4] By definition, the syntax (hkâ„“) denotes a plane that intercepts the three points a 1 /h, a 2 /k, and a 3 /â„“, or some multiple thereof. That is, the Miller indices are ...
