  2. Axial loading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_loading

    Axial loading is defined as applying a force on a structure directly along a given axis of said structure. [1] In the medical field, the term refers to the application of weight or force along the course of the long axis of the body. [2] The application of an axial load on the human spine can result in vertebral compression fractures. [3]

  3. Berry mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berry_mechanism

    Trigonal bipyramidal molecular shape ax = axial ligands (on unique axis) eq = equatorial ligand (in plane perpendicular to unique axis). The Berry mechanism, or Berry pseudorotation mechanism, is a type of vibration causing molecules of certain geometries to isomerize by exchanging the two axial ligands (see the figure) for two of the equatorial ones.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    (It may be necessary to calculate the stress to which it is subjected, for example.) On the right, the red cylinder has become the free body. In figure 2, the interest has shifted to just the left half of the red cylinder and so now it is the free body on the right. The example illustrates the context sensitivity of the term "free body".

  6. Anomeric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomeric_effect

    The α- and β-anomers of D-glucopyranose.. In organic chemistry, the anomeric effect or Edward-Lemieux effect (after J. T. Edward and Raymond Lemieux) is a stereoelectronic effect that describes the tendency of heteroatomic substituents adjacent to a heteroatom within a cyclohexane ring to prefer the axial orientation instead of the less-hindered equatorial orientation that would be expected ...

  7. Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-dimensional_nuclear...

    Almost all two-dimensional experiments have four stages: the preparation period, where a magnetization coherence is created through a set of RF pulses; the evolution period, a determined length of time during which no pulses are delivered and the nuclear spins are allowed to freely precess (rotate); the mixing period, where the coherence is ...

  8. Bent's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent's_rule

    Both these studies show how Bent's rule can be used to aid synthetic chemistry. Knowing how molecular geometry accurately due to Bent's rule allows synthetic chemists to predict relative product stability. [14] [30] Additionally, Bent's rule can help chemists choose their starting materials to drive the reaction towards a particular product. [14]

  9. Axial chirality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_chirality

    Two types of molecules having axial chirality: allenes (left) and binaryl atropisomers (right) In chemistry, axial chirality is a special case of chirality in which a molecule contains two pairs of chemical groups in a non-planar arrangement about an axis of chirality so that the molecule is not superposable on its mirror image.
