  2. Five-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-dimensional_space

    The first approach is space-time-matter, which utilizes an unrestricted group of 5D coordinate transforms to derive new solutions of the Einstein's field equations that agree with the corresponding classical solutions in 4D spacetime. [8] Another 5D representation describes quantum physics from a thermal-space-time ensemble perspective and ...

  3. Group 4 element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_4_element

    This is an effect of the lanthanide contraction: the expected increase of atomic radius from the 4d to the 5d elements is wiped out by the insertion of the 4f elements before. Titanium, being smaller, is distinct from these two: its oxide is less basic than those of zirconium and hafnium, and its aqueous chemistry is more hydrolyzed. [ 28 ]

  4. Transition metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_metal

    The first transition series is present in the 4th period, and starts after Ca (Z = 20) of group 2 with the configuration [Ar]4s 2, or scandium (Sc), the first element of group 3 with atomic number Z = 21 and configuration [Ar]4s 2 3d 1, depending on the definition used. As we move from left to right, electrons are added to the same d subshell ...

  5. Four-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-dimensional_space

    Four-dimensional space (4D) is the mathematical extension of the concept of three-dimensional space (3D). Three-dimensional space is the simplest possible abstraction of the observation that one needs only three numbers, called dimensions, to describe the sizes or locations of objects in the everyday world.

  6. Kaluza–Klein theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaluza–Klein_theory

    Kaluza presented a purely classical extension of general relativity to 5D, with a metric tensor of 15 components. Ten components are identified with the 4D spacetime metric, four components with the electromagnetic vector potential, and one component with an unidentified scalar field sometimes called the "radion" or the "dilaton".

  7. 5-cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-cell

    In geometry, the 5-cell is the convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol {3,3,3}. It is a 5-vertex four-dimensional object bounded by five tetrahedral cells. It is also known as a C 5, hypertetrahedron, pentachoron, [1] pentatope, pentahedroid, [2] tetrahedral pyramid, or 4-simplex (Coxeter's polytope), [3] the simplest possible convex 4-polytope, and is analogous to the tetrahedron in three ...

  8. List of mathematical shapes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_shapes

    Facet, an (n-1)-dimensional element; Ridge, an (n-2)-dimensional element; Peak, an (n-3)-dimensional element; For example, in a polyhedron (3-dimensional polytope), a face is a facet, an edge is a ridge, and a vertex is a peak. Vertex figure: not itself an element of a polytope, but a diagram showing how the elements meet.

  9. Extended periodic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_periodic_table

    Thus element 164 with 7d 10 9s 0 is noted by Fricke et al. to be analogous to palladium with 4d 10 5s 0, and they consider elements 157–172 to have chemical analogies to groups 3–18 (though they are ambivalent on whether elements 165 and 166 are more like group 1 and 2 elements or more like group 11 and 12 elements, respectively). Thus ...
