What is Encaustic Paint. Encaustic is a wax based paint (composed of beeswax, resin and pigment), which is kept molten on a heated palette. It is applied to an absorbent surface and then reheated in order to fuse the paint. The word âencausticâ comes from the Greek word enkaiein, meaning to burn in, referring to the process of fusing the paint.
1 Linear: In a linear model, atoms are connected in a straight line. The bond angles are set at 180Â°. For example, carbon dioxide and nitric oxide have a linear molecular shape.  Trigonal planar: Molecules with the trigonal planar shape are somewhat triangular and in one plane (flat).
A bond angle is the angle formed between three atoms across at least two bonds. For four atoms bonded together in a chain, the torsional angle is the angle between the plane formed by the first three atoms and the plane formed by the last three atoms. There exists a mathematical relationship among the bond angles for one central atom and four peripheral atoms (labeled 1 through 4) expressed by the following determinant. This constraint removes one degree of freedom from the choices of (originally) six free bond angles to leave only five choices of bond angles.
