  • Figure 1: The four stable geometric structures of the seven-atom cluster of argon, in order of increasing energy: (A) A pentagonal bipyramid. (B) A regular octahedron with one face capped by the seventh atom. (C) A regular tetrahedron with three of its faces capped by other atoms. (D) A trigonal bipyramid with two of its faces capped by other atoms; although this has the highest energy of the four structures, it is very close in energy to the tricapped tetrahedron.
    In cluster: Network structures

    …carbon must have exactly 12 rings of 5 carbon atoms, but the number of rings of 6 carbon atoms is variable. Shells smaller than C60 have been discovered, but some of their constituent pentagons must share edges; this makes the smaller network compounds less stable than C60. Shells larger than…

    In chemical compound: Carbon bonding

    A very common ring structure contains six carbon atoms in a ring, each bonded in a tetrahedral arrangement, as in the hydrocarbon cyclohexane, C6H12. Such ring structures are often very simply represented as regular polygons in which each apex represents a carbon atom, and the hydrogen atoms that…
