Bonds to a tetrahedral atom in a six-membered ring are termed equatorial or axial according as they or their projections make a small or a large angle, respectively, with the plane containing a majority of the ring atoms. Atoms or groups attached to such bonds are also said to be equatorial or axial, respectively. 2, record 1, English, - axial%20bond

Les liaisons d'un atome tétraédrique faisant partie d'un cycle à six chaînons sont appelées équatoriales ou axiales selon qu'elles ou leurs projections font respectivement un petit ou un grand angle avec le plan contenant la majorité des atomes du cycle. Les atomes ou groupes d'atomes fixés par ces liaisons sont également dits, respectivement, équatoriaux ou axiaux. 2, record 1, French, - liaison%20axiale

Dans les cycles analogues mono-insaturés, les liaisons correspondantes issues d'atomes contigus à un atome doublement lié sont dites «quasi-axiales» ou «pseudo-axiales». 1, record 1, French, - liaison%20axiale

At this point the equatorial moment of inertia becomes larger than the moment of inertia measured about the rotation axis, so that Triton overbalances and becomes dynamically unstable. The satellite then undergoes polar wander, restoring stability when the new equator contains the excess matter. Hence the pole may be continually wandering. 2, record 2, English, - equatorial%20moment%20of%20inertia%20of%20the%20ring
