  2. Crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_system

    Crystals can be classified in three ways: lattice systems, crystal systems and crystal families. The various classifications are often confused: in particular the trigonal crystal system is often confused with the rhombohedral lattice system, and the term "crystal system" is sometimes used to mean "lattice system" or "crystal family".

  3. Hexagonal crystal family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_crystal_family

    The trigonal crystal system consists of the 5 point groups that have a single three-fold rotation axis, which includes space groups 143 to 167. These 5 point groups have 7 corresponding space groups (denoted by R) assigned to the rhombohedral lattice system and 18 corresponding space groups (denoted by P) assigned to the hexagonal lattice system.

  4. Water cycle - Wikipedia

    In doing so, the water goes through different forms: liquid, solid and vapor. The ocean plays a key role in the water cycle as it is the source of 86% of global evaporation. [2] The water cycle involves the exchange of energy, which leads to temperature changes. When water evaporates, it takes up energy from its surroundings and cools the ...

    Rhombohedral: R 3 m (No. 166) 105 (rh.) 315 (hex.) Partly due to its complexity, whether this structure is the ground state of Boron has not been fully settled. α-As: A7: Rhombohedral: R 3 m (No. 166) 2 (rh.) 6 (hex.) in grey metallic form, each As atom has 3 neighbours in the same sheet at 251.7pm; 3 in adjacent sheet at 312.0 pm.

    Liquid crystal – a state of matter with properties of both conventional liquids and crystals Patterson function – a function used to solve the phase problem in X-ray crystallography Periodic table (crystal structure) – (for elements that are solid at standard temperature and pressure) gives the crystalline structure of the most ...

  7. Crystallization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallization

    A common practice is to cool the solutions by flash evaporation: when a liquid at a given T 0 temperature is transferred in a chamber at a pressure P 1 such that the liquid saturation temperature T 1 at P 1 is lower than T 0, the liquid will release heat according to the temperature difference and a quantity of solvent, whose total latent heat ...

  8. Condensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensation

    The word most often refers to the water cycle. [1] It can also be defined as the change in the state of water vapor to liquid water when in contact with a liquid or solid surface or cloud condensation nuclei within the atmosphere. When the transition happens from the gaseous phase into the solid phase directly, the change is called deposition.
