Corpus analysis for Tetrahedral
- In this selection, "tetrahedral" usually appears near the end of the sentence. The average example has 22.1 words, and this corpus slice is mostly made up of statements.
- Around the word, perfect, used, central, symmetry, arrangement and die stand out and add context to how "tetrahedral" is used.
- Recognizable usage signals include a central tetrahedral silicon atom and atom with tetrahedral symmetry. That gives this page its own corpus information beyond isolated example sentences.
- By corpus frequency, "tetrahedral" sits close to words such as abrasion, abscess and aced, which helps place it inside the broader word index.
