  2. Axial parallelism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_parallelism

    Axial parallelism is widely observed in astronomy. For example, the axial parallelism of the Moon's orbital plane [8] is a key factor in the phenomenon of eclipses. The Moon's orbital axis precesses a full circle during the 18 year, 10 day saros cycle. When the Moon's orbital tilt is aligned with the ecliptic tilt, it is 29 degrees from the ...

  3. Anti-periplanar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-periplanar

    Anti-periplanar geometry will put a bonding orbital and an anti-bonding orbital approximately parallel to each other, or syn-periplanar. Figure 6 is another representation of 2-chloro-2,3-dimethylbutane (Figure 5), showing the C–H bonding orbital, σ C–H , and the C–Cl anti-bonding orbital, σ* C–Cl , syn-periplanar.

  4. Bravais lattice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bravais_lattice

    The seven lattice systems and their Bravais lattices in three dimensions. In geometry and crystallography, a Bravais lattice, named after Auguste Bravais (), [1] is an infinite array of discrete points generated by a set of discrete translation operations described in three dimensional space by

  5. Arrangement of lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrangement_of_lines

    The number of vertices is smaller when some lines are parallel, or when some vertices are crossed by more than two lines. [4] An arrangement can be rotated, if necessary, to avoid axis-parallel lines. After this step, each ray that forms an edge of the arrangement extends either upward or downward from its endpoint; it cannot be horizontal.

  6. Parallelism (grammar) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelism_(grammar)

    In grammar, parallelism, also known as parallel structure or parallel construction, is a balance within one or more sentences of similar phrases or clauses that have the same grammatical structure. [1] The application of parallelism affects readability and may make texts easier to process. [2]

  7. Geometric terms of location - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_terms_of_location

    Tangential – intersecting a curve at a point and parallel to the curve at that point. Collinear – in the same line; Parallel – in the same direction. Transverse – intersecting at any angle, i.e. not parallel. Orthogonal (or perpendicular) – at a right angle (at the point of intersection).

  8. Riemannian connection on a surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemannian_connection_on_a...

    This equation shows once more that parallel transport depends only on the metric structure so is an intrinsic invariant of the surface. Parallel transport can be extended immediately to piecewise C 1 curves. When M is a surface embedded in E 3, this last condition can be written in terms of the projection-valued function P as

  9. Sigma bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigma_bond

    Sigma bonds are the strongest type of covalent bonds due to the direct overlap of orbitals, and the electrons in these bonds are sometimes referred to as sigma electrons. [3] The symbol σ is the Greek letter sigma. When viewed down the bond axis, a σ MO has a circular symmetry, hence resembling a similarly sounding "s" atomic orbital.
