Two-dimensional shapes

Microscopic examination permits measurement of the projected area of the particle and also enables an assessment to be made of its two-dimensional shape. In general, the third dimension cannot be determined except when using special stereomicroscopes. The apparent size of particle is compared with that of circles engraved on a graticule in the eyepiece as shown in Figure 1.3. Automatic methods of scanning have been developed. By using the electron microscope 7, the lower limit of size can be reduced to about 0.001 pan. 

A level of probability is usually expressed as a percentage. Therefore, the contour line in Figure 3.14B defines an area that represents 95 percent of the probability graph. This two-dimensional shape is given three dimensions in Figure 3.14C. What this means is that, at any time, there is a 95 percent chance of finding the electron within the volume defined by the spherical contour. 

Pears can be grown as a pyramid-shaped tree with a central trunk or, as apples are, as a low-branching bush tree. They can also be trained Into two-dimensional shapes such as cordons... 

Different eorrelations are required for three-dimensional bodies (spheres, disks, and spheroids) than for the two-dimensional shapes (cylinders and wedges). For three-dimensional shapes transfer in the aft region is correlated by... 

Example 13.3 demonstrates that phospholipids can form domains of distinct two-dimensional shapes on liquid surfaces. It has been found that the domain shape mainly depends on the chemical composition of the monolayer and the conditions such as temperature, pH, and ionic concentration. Domain structures can usually be understood by taking two competing interactions into account an attractive dispersive van der Waals force and a repulsive dipole-dipole...

The examples have shown that it is possible to explain promotion by poisoning of metal catalysts by ensemble control. It nay give ideas for the design of more selective catalysts exposing almost two-dimensional shape selectivity. 

More quantitative information can be drawn from the time dependence of the Cu clusters on Ag(lll), because of their two-dimensional shape. The number of copper atoms in each such cluster is precisely determined, since the convolution between tip and cluster in the imaging process is negligible for a monoatomic high... 

OPCS is a two-dimensional shape factor developed by Chapman et al. to characterize the roundness of a particle. OPCS is the minimum angle between a horizontal plane and the plane where the particle is lying on and that is necessary to be raised to shift the center of gravity of the particle outside of the boundary so that it would start rolling (Fig. 16) (47). OPCS is defined as ... 

There are two- (46) and three-dimensional (43) shape factors suggested by Podczeck et al. to describe how the form of spherical particles approaches a true spheroid (46). The two-dimensional shape factor e derived from an ellipse is ... 

Host of the terms employed refer to two-dimensional shapes. For terms for three-dimensional ones see 4. Most terms are based on the ratio between length and width, the index (see 3.2). See also TAXON 11 (1962) 145-156, 245-247.

Figures 3 and 4 are based on the maintenance of the same crystal shape as the size varies. For small particles, needles or even two-dimensional shapes may predominate, as discussed by Bond (21). More subtle changes may occur, such as the replacement of cubooctahedrons by icosahedrons for crystals of d < 2 nm. For large crystals kinetic effects during the preparation may cause deviations from the expected equilibrium distribution of faces, often assumed to be equal portions of the (111), (100), and...

For each of the following two-dimensional shapes, determine the highest order rotation axis of symmetry. 

Clever nozzle design allows the production of complex two-dimensional shapes, and co-extrusion of different flavours of ice cream, or sauces, enables detail to be added. The extrude and cut process can therefore produce products that cannot be made by moulding. Figure 5.9 shows two examples of these. Spirals of ice cream can be produced with a rotating nozzle two ice cream streams rotate around the centre, through which a further ice cream stream is flowing.

Most molecules and polyatomic ions do not have flat, two-dimensional shapes like those implied by the molecular Lewis structures of Table 4.3. In fact, the atoms of most molecules and polyatomic ions form distinct three-dimensional shapes. Being able to predict the shape is important because the shape contributes to the properties of the molecule or ion. This can be done quite readily for molecules composed of representative elements.
