Geometry polygons

There are many applications of geometry in mathematical problems. This chapter will review basic polygons and solid figures, with an emphasis on three- and four-sided figures. It will also describe the various ways that geometry is used for measurement. 

Since the geometries of these systems are in most regions not regular polygons, we will symbolize them as (H2) , emphasizing the number of H2 molecules rather than the total number of atoms. 

Different geometrical arrangements of the atoms attached to the central atom are possible for all coordination numbers greater than one. The coordination polyhedron (or polygon in planar molecules) may be denoted in the name by an affix called the polyhedral symbol. This descriptor clearly distinguishes isomers differing in the geometries of their coordination polyhedra. 

In geometry, a point represents a position, but has no size, polygon... 

Problem 9.13 The energies of the -k m.o.s of monocyclic hydrocarbons of n atoms can be directly obtainedfrom the vertical coordinates of the corners ofan n-sided regular polygon inscribed in a circle of radius 2(3, with one corner at the lowest point see Fig. 9.9) ref. 121). Apply this construct to a square planar cyclobutadiene molecule the real geometry is rectangular) and conclude that this is not an aromatic hydrocarbon.
