Formulae Greek letters

The number of the moving electromagnetic waves that pass a fixed point in 1 sec is called the frequency of the light. Its symbol is the lowercase Greek letter nu, v. It is expressed in waves (most often called cycles) per second, or hertz (Hz). In mathematical formulas, the unit is reciprocal seconds (sec- ). 

Table 3.1 shows a few examples of this notation. In this case, of course, the temperature and composition ranges of stability explicitly indicated for all the phases give additional or more detailed information. The Greek letters assigned to the phases of the systems may be considered as arbitrary ( pseudonyms of the formula or synonyms). Similarly to what can be observed for several common alloys of practical interest, these symbols often date back to the first investigation of the... 

The designations a, /3, or y after some formulas refer to particular crystalline forms (which are customarily identified by Greek letters). Data for salts except oxalates are taken mainly from A. E. Martel and R. M. Smith, Critical Stability Constants. Vol. 4 (New York Plenum Press, 1976). Data for oxalates are from L. G. Sitlen and A. E. Martell, Stability Constants of Metal-Ion Complexes, Supplement No. 1 (London The Chemical Society, Special Publication No. 25,1971). Another source R. M. H. Verbeeck et al., Inorg. Chem. 1984, 23, 1922. 

The shear stress is indicated by means of the Greek letter x (tau) in formula ... 

In figure 11.3. 2, X (the Greek letter lambda) stands for the heat conduction coefficient. This is part of the following formula in which (p (phi) stands for the heat current through the brick. 

Because computing programs don t usually allow the Greek letters in which formulae are written, write "z" for and"E" for "e" so that ew( ) becomes Ew(z), etc. Also, don t bother with subscripting. For water (with data copied from Table L2.1), we get... 

Use the Greek letters eta (r ) to indicate hapticity and kappa (k) to designate the ligating atom in complicated formulas. 

Partial Derivatives of All Thermodynamic Functions The various partial derivatives of the thermodynamic functions can be classified into six groups. In the general formulas below, the variables U, H, A, Gor S are denoted by Greek letters, while the variables V, T, or p are denoted by Latin letters. 

Figure 8.7 The aluminum oxides and hydroxides and their temperatures of interconversion. Hydroxide materials are named along with their chemical formulae oxides all have the composition AI2O3 and so are indicated by the Greek letter associated with the phase. The a-phase is indicated in large font and bold as it is the thermodynamically most stable oxide. Adapted from reference [61].

Allotropic modifications of an element bear the name of the atom from which they are derived, together with a descriptor to specify the modification. Common descriptors are Greek letters (a, (3, y, etc.), colours and, where appropriate, mineral names (e.g. graphite and diamond for the well known forms of carbon). Such names should be regarded as provisional, to be used only until structures have been established, after which a rational system based on molecular formula (see Section IR-3.4.3) or crystal structure (see Section IR-3.4.4) is recommended. Common names will continue to be used for amorphous modifications of an element and for those which are mixtures of closely related structures in their commonly occurring forms (such as graphite) or have an ill-defined disordered structure (such as red phosphoms) (see Section IR-3.4.5). 

Figure 3. General formula for tripeptides of this study. Arrows with accompanying Greek letters indicate dihedral bond angles.

Structural formula of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) at pH 7.0, The three phosphate groups are identified by Greek letters a, fi, and y. The y- and S-phosphate groups are linked through phosphoanhydride bonds and their hydrolysis yields a large negative AG°, whereas the cr-phosphate linked by a phosphate ester bond has a much lower negative AG°. ... 

Most important of all, the description of the steps involved in the calculation is more difficult when general mathematical formulae are being implemented (integrals, Greek letters, mathematical symbols etc.). 

Materials. The LCPs 1-4 and low molecular weight analogues 5-8 which we consider in detail have the molecular structures shown in Fig. 13. The Greek letters, , p, 8, and different derivatives of the same LC, deuteriated at different sites of the mesogen or alkyl chain, as indicated in the formula of LCP 4. Synthetic... 

We use brackets around a chemical formula, as in [B], to indicate molarity. The Greek letter delta, A, is read change in and is always equal to a final value minus an initial value. (Section 5.2) The average rate of appearance of B over the 20-s interval from the beginning of the reaction (tj = 0 s to t2 = 20 s) is...
