Number Arabic numerals

The names of addition compounds are formed by connecting the names of individual compounds by a dash (—) and indicating the numbers of molecules in the name by Arabic numerals separated by the solidus (diagonal slash). All molecules are cited in order of increasing number those having the same number are cited in alphabetic order. However, boron compounds and water are always cited last and in that order. 

Arabic numerals have also been used in this context, but confusion may result when component sugar residues have structural modifications (eg. cha n requiring superscript locant numbers. The present recommendation folio long established usage in glycolipids [21]. 

The usual whole numbers, integers such as 1,2,3,4..., are usually referred to as Arabic numerals. It seems, however, that the basic decimal counting system was first developed in India, as it was demonstrated in an Indian astronomic calendar which dates from the third century AD. This system, which was composed of nine figures and the zero, was employed by the Arabs in the ninth century. The notation is basically that of the Arabic language and it was the Arabs who introduced the system in Europe at the beginning of the eleventh century. 

In Figure 2a several important stages in the circling are labeled with Arabic numerals. In the adjacent Figure 2b the values of 0(4>, q) are plotted as < ) increases continuously. The labeled points in the two Figures correspond to each other. (The notation is that points that represent zeros of tan 0 are marked with numbers surrounded by small circles, those that represent poles are marked by numbers placed inside squares, other points of interest that are neither zero nor poles are labeled by free numbers.) The zero value of the topological phase (0/2) arises from the fact that at the point 3 (at which <(> = it/2), 0 retraces its values, rather than goes on to decrease. 

Valency is the number of electrons lost, borrowed or shared in a chemical bond. Formal charges are indicated with Arabic numerals, so the formal charge on a copper cation is expressed as Cu2+, meaning each copper cation has a deficiency of two electrons. In this system of thought, the charge on the central carbon of methane is zero. 

Care we write a formal charge with Arabic numerals, and means that the full charge exists as indicated Cu2+ means a copper atom with fully two electronic charges missing. We write an oxidation number with Roman numerals, and does not relate to any physical loss or gain of electrons it is purely a book-keeping exercise. Mnvn does not mean that a manganese atom has lost seven electrons. 

In the modern periodic table, horizontal rows are known as periods, and are labeled with Arabic numerals. These correspond to the principal quantum numbers described in the previous section. Because the outer shells of the elements H and He are 5 rather than p orbitals, these elements are usually considered differently from those in the rest of the table, and thus the 1st period consists of the elements Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F, and Ne, and the 2nd Na to Ar. Periods 1 and 2 are known as short periods, because they contain only eight elements. From the discussion above, it can be seen that these periods correspond to the filling of the p orbitals (the 2p levels for the first period, and the 3p for the second), and they are consequently referred to as p-block elements. The 3rd and 4th periods are extended by an additional series of elements inserted after the second member of the period (Ca and Sr respectively), consisting of an extra ten elements (Sc to Zn in period 3 and Y... 

Figure 4. The composition of radioactivity in neutral sugars. Arabic numerals are the fraction numbers. The differentiating stages in each fraction are as follows Fractions 1-2, primary wall stage 3, Si stage 4-6, S2 stage 7-8, S3 stage.

Figure 5. Densitometer traces of UV-photonegatives. Arabic numerals indicate the cell number which starts from the cell just before Si formation.

Modifier A indicates a charge number, which may be positive or negative (when element X is more properly called an ion). In the absence of modifier A, the charge is assumed to be zero. Alternatively or additionally, it can indicate the number of unpaired electrons, in which case the modifier is a combination of an arabic numeral and a dot. The number one is not represented. 

Charge numbers, oxidation numbers, and ionic proportions. When the oxidation number of the central atom can be defined without ambiguity, it may be indicated by appending a roman numeral to the central atom name.2 This number is enclosed in parentheses after the part of the name denoting the central atom. No positive sign is used. When necessary a negative sign is placed before the number. Arabic zero indicates the zero oxidation number. No space is left between this number and the rest of the name. 

If we adopt the system of numbering each compd separately, and if the compd on the right side of the formula has simple arabic numerals (1,2,3, etc) counted clockwise, while the compd on the left side has primed arabic numerals 1, 2,3 etc, counted "counter-clockwise", then the formula may be represented as ... 

Boron Compounds. Molecular hydrides of boron are called boranes. They are named by using a multiplying affix to designate the number of boron atoms and adding an Arabic numeral within parentheses as a suffix to denote the number of hydrogen atoms present. Examples are pentaborane(9) for B5H9 and pentaborane(ll) for B5Hn. 

Mathematical operations have specific rules for the use of mathematical symbols with SI units. A space or a half-high dot represents the multiplication of units a negative exponent, horizontal line, or slash represents the division of units, and if these mathematical symbols appear in the same line, parentheses must differentiate them. The percent sign (%) denotes the number 0.01 or 1/100, so that 1%= 0.01, 30% = 0.30, and so forth. Arabic numerals with the appropriate SI or recognized unit indicate the values of quantities. Commas are not used to separate numbers into groups of three. If more than four digits appear on either side of the decimal point, a space Table 3. Prefixes. separates the groups of three. 

This principle links the typical organometallic oxidation state-based view of transition metal catalysis reactions best with the radical reaction manifold. At the end a table that links the typical radical reaction types to the different metals catalyzing them is provided. Throughout the review, series of stable organic compounds or transition metal complexes are numbered by arabic numerals and small letters, while reactive intermediates or transition states are designated by arabic numerals followed by capital letters. 

Use numerals to label figures, tables, schemes, structures, charts, equations, and references. Number sequentially do not skip numbers or number out of sequence. Use arabic numerals for references, but for the other items, the use of arabic and roman numerals varies among ACS publications. Consult a recent issue or author instructions to determine what system is preferred. 

Arabic numerals followed by periods or enclosed in parentheses may be used to enumerate a displayed list of sentences or to number paragraphs. Here are two acceptable ways to format a list.
