these molecules can be predicted from their Lewis structures‚ however‚ with a model developed about 30 years ago‚ known as the valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory. The VSEPR theory assumes that each atom in a molecule will achieve a geometry that minimizes the repulsion between electrons in the valence shell of that atom. The five compounds shown in the figure below can be used to demonstrate how the VSEPR theory can be applied to simple molecules. There are only two places in the

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT subcontinent is the Indus Valley Civilization that flourished between 2600 and 1900 BC in the Indus river basin. Their cities were laid out with geometric regularity‚ but no known mathematical documents survive from this civilization. The oldest extant mathematical records from India are the Sulba Sutras (dated variously between the 8th century BC and the 2nd century AD)‚ appendices to religious texts which give simple rules for constructing altars of various shapes‚

René Descartes: "Father of Modern Mathematics" 1596-1650 December 13‚ 2004 René Descartes was born in La Haye‚ Touraine (France) in March of 1596 and died at Stockholm on February 11‚ 1650. René‚ the second of a family of two sons and one daughter‚ was sent to the Jesuit School at La Flêche at the early age of eight. Since he was of poor health he was permitted to lie in bed till late in the mornings‚ a custom which

repelled by the ligand lone pairs (like charges…) and therefore has its energy increased relative to what it would be in the free metal ion. CHEM 241 Fall 2014 TM − p.2 The ligand lone pairs (negatively charged) are located on the x‚y‚z coordinate axes. IN ADDITION: An electron in a dx2-y2 or dz2 orbital is closer to the ligands than if it were in a dxy‚ dxz or dyz orbital‚ and so is more repelled by the lone pairs. These two metal orbitals (dx2-y2 & dz2) orbitals are therefore

and ellipse. The circle is sometimes categorized as a type of ellipse. In mathematics‚ a conic section (or just conic) is a curve obtained as the intersection of a cone (more precisely‚ a right circular conical surface) with a plane. In analytic geometry‚ a conic may be defined as a plane algebraic curve of degree 2. There are a number of other geometric definitions possible. One of the most useful‚ in that it involves only the plane‚ is that a conic consists of those points whose distances to some

(Allen‚ 1997‚ para. 2). For the earliest period of Greek mathematics‚ there are few primary sources of information. We are therefore forced to rely extensively on the Euclidean Summary of Proclus. This contains an outline of the development of Greek geometry from early times until Euclid (Allen‚ 1997). Thales is often considered to be one of the first Greek mathematicians. The proposition known as the “Theorem of Thales” states‚ “The diameter of a circle always subtends a right angle to any point

mathematician‚ often referred to as the "Father of Geometry". He was active in Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy I (323–283 BC). His Elements is one of the most influential works in the history of mathematics‚ serving as the main textbook for teaching mathematics (especially geometry) from the time of its publication until the late 19th or early 20th century.[1][2][3] In the Elements‚ Euclid deduced the principles of what is now called Euclidean geometry from a small set of axioms. Euclid also wrote
