Structure Definition and 1000 Threads

Dear all I am trying to find the support reactions on the following structure: The frame member in the horizontal is 8m long and in the vertical the member is 5m. To do this I am using the force method (or unit load method or virtual work method). Firstly, I removing the redundants at the...

Since SO3 has an expanded octet structure, the central S should form three double bonds with O, meaning S forms 3 pi bonds in total. However, after hybridisation of S, there are less than three unpaired electrons in unhybridised p-orbitals of S. How can S form 3 pi bonds when there aren’t enough...

Recently a paper was published 'The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects' which proposes how 'massless' shells can bind galaxies in lieu of dark matter. There are a few basic technical details I am looking to clarify: 1. It is mentioned in the paper that an...

How do quantum fluctuations affect the formation and evolution of structures in the universe on large scales?

In HClO4 Cl forms one single bond with an oxygen and three dative bonds with the other 3 oxygen atoms. However, according to VB theory, Cl is hybridized and forms double bonds instead of dative bonds. Then, the structural formula of the molecule never shows arrows as it would if there were...

Hello everyone! I joined this forum to reach out to people much smarter than me. After searching the matter, i realize this subject has been beaten to death for a VERY long time. But, as of yet, I have not stumbled upon a definitive answer to my question. Flipping through my news feed...

I'm new to chemistry, I'm looking at isomers, chiral topics, but I can't figure out why isomers change their structure, why chirals want to change in polarized light, why cis and trans do not remain constant but produce two different structures and which of these is the real structure, where do...

In this video Dirac talks about the Fine Structure Constant 1/137. Can we now explain why this is?

A paper by Nhat-Minh Nguyen, Dragan Huterer, Yuewei Wen titled "Evidence for suppression of structure growth in the concordance cosmological model" https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.01331 The abstract says: We present evidence for a suppressed growth rate of large-scale structure during the...

Hi all I am a little bit confused about the definition of angular frequency in the context of nuclear rotation, some times its defined in the regular way as $$ E=\hbar \omega $$ and other time from the rigid rotor formula $$ E=\frac{\hbar^{2}}{2I} J(J+1) $$ where ##I## is the moment of inertia...

I'm simulating on code the tight-binding sp3s* bandstructure of certain semiconductors, such as GaAs, AlP, InP, ZnSe, etc. with spin-orbit coupling at a temperature of T = 0 K but I'm having trouble at finding the corresponding spin-orbit splitting parameters. For example, I've found in this...

I read that a photon is an electromagnetic field but how could that be since electromagnetic fields are based on electronic and thermodynamics.

I have tried to calculate the safe load with the equation of maximum shear stress, A = 4*6*10^-4, and the given shear stress 5MPa, but I couldn't seem to get the right answer which is 18kN.

I study particle physics with “Particles and Nuclei” / Povh et al. and “Modern particle physics” / Mark Thomson and I am currently at “Deep-Inelastic scattering”. After introducing several scattering equations, such as Rosenbluth, that all include terms for electric AND magnetic scattering, i.e...

Square matrices are closed under addition and their own form of multiplication, but in general do not commute. What algebraic structure then describes this, along with polynomials of matrices and allows us to amend with other operations, such as differentiation or integration defined on these...

Figure: My attempt at a Solution: We calculate REACTIONS: $$\sum F_x=0\rightarrow \boxed{Bx=0}\qquad \sum F_y=0\rightarrow By+A=50$$ $$\sum M_B=0\rightarrow \boxed{A=25\, \textrm{kN}}\quad \boxed{B=25\, \textrm{kN}}$$ KNOT B: $$\alpha \rightarrow \alpha =90-40=50\, \textrm{º}$$ $$\beta...

I thought it was trigonal bipyramidal, with iodine forming 5 bonds with 5 fluorine atoms. Actually, iodine has another lone electron pair, making it square planar. Is there a reason why iodine has another lone pair when it has already exceeded the octet rule? And how would I predict how many...

I recently watched History of the Universe and they talked about the Giant Arc, a large scale structure that spans 3.3 billion light years long, exceeding the hypothetical limit of 1.2 billion. The Arc was discovered last year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Giant_Arc They said if the Giant...

Summary: I am looking to confirm a few things on the structure of the galaxy as we know it to make sure I have a credible enough understanding for a sci-fi project I'm working on. Background to question: For my sins, I make sci-fi starships and ground forces wargames models as part of my day...

A University of Oxford and Cambridge Collaboration in 2014 produced a series of lectures "Cosmology and the constants of nature". John K Webb spoke on the topic of variations in the values of fundamental constants. Latest developments here. Who else is doing similar research?

I am having some hard time to finding out where i should start. I remember see the strucutre constant arrising when we evaluate vertices on feynman diagrams for QED interactions... But i am too ignorant to know how to proceed..

In a recent thread about Bell tests etc. it has been claimed my point of view of "locality" where "non-mainstream physics". Of course, I cannot give a complete summary of the foundations in a forum posting, as demanded by @DrChinese there. The most clear treatment, particularly emphasizing the...

Why, in a nutshell, are there two coupling constants for the EM field, the fundamental electric charge, e, and the Fine Structure Constant? If a brief answer is not possible, can you recommend good literature on this subject? Thanks in advance.

(See illustration) Object A is moving, to the right, really fast towards object B on the x axis. At (0,0) they meet. There are two rocks next to each other ahead of the speeding object A. The two rocks are shown as world lines red and green as they would exist for each observer. Assume that...

According to this Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_band_structure the discrete energy levels of an isolated atom split into N levels in a macroscopic crystalline lattice (N being the number of atoms in the lattice) forming essentially continuous bands from the discrete...

I am about to start writing a fairly important lab-report and have a few questions about structure. The experiment can be broken down into three “sub-experiments”, which have their own methodologies and conclusions. Each involves investigating the behaviour of a different part of the apparatus...

I have three questions regarding the material Gallium Oxide. I was reading in several articles and they introduced its structure as it has monoclinic structure and it consists tetrahedral and octahedral structures in it. What I can't understand I can connect this structure to the chemical...

First, since A and B are articulated, the moments due to A and B are zero. Now, we may call reaction forces in A, ##V_A## and ##H_A## and in the same way, call the reactions in B as ##V_B## and ##H_B##. With that and Newton's third law, I managed to find three equations (equilibrium of...

Could matter have formed structures in the universe, like galaxies, without the presence of dark matter?

I have read that an electron requires certain minimum energy of threshold frequency to move an orbit However the energy needed decreases with increase in shell number The transition energy is reduced with each orbit For example The energy to shift an electron from 1st to 2nd orbit is much...

DIS observables can be expressed in terms of structure functions F1, F2 and FL. There exists the relation ##F_L = F_2 - 2xF_1##. We can write $$ F_L = \sum_a x \int_x^1 \frac{dy}{y} C_{a,L}(y,Q) f_a (\frac{x}{y},Q) $$ and similarly for ##F_1## and ##F_2##: $$ F_1 = \sum_a x \int_x^1...

To calculate the Riemann coefficient for a metric ##g##, one can employ the second Cartan's structure equation: $$\frac{1}{2} \Omega_{ab} (\theta^a \wedge \theta^b) = -\frac{1}{4} R_{ijkl} (dx^i \wedge dx^j)(dx^k \wedge dx^l)$$ and using the tetrad formalism to compute the coefficients of the...

Does anyone have some bibliography about necks in FCC structure Fermi surface? I have to solve this problem and I have no idea how to start. Thanks.

Below is the measured values for the Debye rings I obtained. I have to multiply the ratio (which is (sin^2(theta_n))/(sin^2(theta_min))) by a multiplicand until I get an integer. However for the multiplicand and the values I measured I get 1, 3, 13, ??, 4, 8, ??. These should either correspond...

Suppose that we have two atoms with one proton one electron each, and these electrons interact with each other. The states for the electrons are the singlet(S=0) and the triplet states(S=1). My question is if i have to keep the nuclear spin of the protons parallel when i write the states, for...

The picture above is the correct answer, but I do not understand why. I thought that the OH group on the top has to be prioritized and be numbered 1. But then, the structure would have to be named 2,4,6-trimethylphenol, not 1,3,5-trimethylphenol. For example, 4-chloroaniline structure looks...

ion shown: My answer: the following is the answer of the question: I identified the major contributor correctly, but the resonance structures, but the second resonance I drew is missing in the answer sheet. Can anyone tell me why the second resonance structure is not part of the answer...

I was told that there are six resonance structures for SO42-, as shown below. I am wondering why this structure with single bonds is not one of the possible resonance. I understand that it is unfavorable as the formal charges are spread out over all four atoms, but shouldn't is still be a...

Hello, https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Top-Graphene-nanoribbons-with-zigzag-left-and-armchair-right-edges-with-disordered_fig1_258105786 With what kx/ky values are these band structures plotted? The energy dispersion of graphene is given by this , yet I am confused to what kx/ky value...

At first I tried solving the problemteh following way: Due to symmetry let the rods connected to the green rod have tension forces in magnitde T1 => mg = 2T1cos(a), where a is half the angle formed by the two rods. From tere I got an expression from the longer rods in the force projected by them...
