Pyramidal Carbocation
A pyramidal carbocation is a type of carbocation with a specific configuration. This ion exists as a third class, besides the classical and non-classical ions. In these ions, a single carbon atom hovers over a four- or five-sided polygon, in effect forming a pyramid. The four-sided pyramidal ion will carry a charge of 1+, and the five-sided pyramid will carry 2+. In the images (''at upper right)'', the black spot on the vertical line represents the hovering carbon atom. The apparent coordination number of five, or even six, associated with the carbon atom at the top of the pyramid is a rarity as compared to the usual maximum of four. History Studying these cations was sparked, at the time, by amazing results in computational chemistry. While calculating the optimal geometry of the mono-cation which arises from the extraction of chloride from 3-chlorotricyclo[2.1.0.02,5]pentane, the three bridges were expected to orient in space with angles of roughly 120°. The calculations ...

Pyramidal Ion 4 Sided With Numbers
A pyramid () is a Nonbuilding structure, structure whose visible surfaces are triangular in broad outline and converge toward the top, making the appearance roughly a Pyramid (geometry), pyramid in the geometric sense. The base of a pyramid can be of any polygon shape, such as triangular or quadrilateral, and its surface-lines either filled or stepped. A pyramid has the majority of its mass closer to the ground with less mass towards the pyramidion at the Apex (geometry), apex. This is due to the gradual decrease in the cross-sectional area along the vertical axis with increasing elevation. This offers a weight distribution that allowed early civilizations to create monumental structures.Ancient Civilization, civilizations in many parts of the world pioneered the building of pyramids. The largest pyramid by volume is the Mesoamerican Great Pyramid of Cholula, in the Mexican state of Puebla. For millennia, the List of largest buildings in the world, largest structures on Earth ...
