  2. Nonmetal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonmetal

    [8] [9] There is no widely accepted precise definition; [10] any list of nonmetals is open to debate and revision. [1] The elements included depend on the properties regarded as most representative of nonmetallic or metallic character. Fourteen elements are almost always recognized as nonmetals: [1] [2]

  3. Character (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_(mathematics)

    A multiplicative character (or linear character, or simply character) on a group G is a group homomorphism from G to the multiplicative group of a field , usually the field of complex numbers. If G is any group, then the set Ch( G ) of these morphisms forms an abelian group under pointwise multiplication.

  4. List of alternative nonmetal classes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_alternative...

    Metallic bonding tends to involve close-packed centrosymmetric structures with a high number of nearest neighbours. Post-transition metals and metalloids, sandwiched between the true metals and the nonmetals, tend to have more complex structures with an intermediate number of nearest neighbours

  5. Geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometry

    Geometry (from Ancient Greek γεωμετρία (geōmetría) 'land measurement'; from γῆ (gê) 'earth, land' and μέτρον (métron) 'a measure') [1] is a branch of mathematics concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures. [2]

  6. Non-Euclidean geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Euclidean_geometry

    The simplest of these is called elliptic geometry and it is considered a non-Euclidean geometry due to its lack of parallel lines. [12] By formulating the geometry in terms of a curvature tensor, Riemann allowed non-Euclidean geometry to apply to higher dimensions. Beltrami (1868) was the first to apply Riemann's geometry to spaces of negative ...

  7. Periodic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table

    Metallic character increases going down a group and from right to left across a period. Nonmetallic character increases going from the bottom left of the periodic table to the top right. The first periodic table to become generally accepted was that of the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869; he formulated the periodic law as a dependence ...

  8. Nonmetallic material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonmetallic_material

    Some textbooks use the term nonmetallic elements such as the Chemistry of the Non-Metals by Ralf Steudel, [25]: 4 which also uses the general definition in terms of conduction and the Fermi level. [ 25 ] : 154 The approach based upon the elements is often used in teaching to help students understand the periodic table of elements, [ 26 ...

  9. Space (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_(mathematics)

    A Euclidean model of a non-Euclidean geometry is a choice of some objects existing in Euclidean space and some relations between these objects that satisfy all axioms (and therefore, all theorems) of the non-Euclidean geometry. These Euclidean objects and relations "play" the non-Euclidean geometry like contemporary actors playing an ancient ...
