Solid modelingSolid modeling (or solid modelling) is a consistent set of principles for mathematical and computer modeling of three-dimensional shapes (solids). Solid modeling is distinguished within the broader related areas of geometric modeling and computer graphics, such as 3D modeling, by its emphasis on physical fidelity. Together, the principles of geometric and solid modeling form the foundation of 3D-computer-aided design and in general support the creation, exchange, visualization, animation, interrogation, and annotation of digital models of physical objects.
OrganolithienUn organolithien, ou simplement lithien, est un composé organométallique présentant une liaison carbone–lithium. Ce sont des réactifs importants en synthèse organique couramment utilisés pour transférer leur chaîne carbonée ou leur atome de lithium à travers une addition nucléophile ou une déprotonation. On utilise les organolithiens dans l'industrie pour l'amorçage de réactions de polymérisation anionique permettant de produire de nombreux élastomères, ainsi qu'en synthèse asymétrique dans l'industrie pharmaceutique.
Chemical symbolChemical symbols are the abbreviations used in chemistry for chemical elements, functional groups and chemical compounds. Element symbols for chemical elements normally consist of one or two letters from the Latin alphabet and are written with the first letter capitalised. Earlier symbols for chemical elements stem from classical Latin and Greek vocabulary. For some elements, this is because the material was known in ancient times, while for others, the name is a more recent invention.
