This third edition of the Green Book, Quantities, Units, and Symbols in Physical Chemistry, is based upon the most up-to-date sources for fundamental constants, data, and nomenclature in the fields of chemistry and physics. As with previous versions, this edition has been written to enable clear understanding in an interdisciplinary environment. This appendix lists the symbols for most of the variable physical quantities used in this e-book. The symbols are those recommended in the IUPAC Green Book (Ian Mills et al, Quantities, Units and Symbols in Physical Chemistry, 2nd edition, Blackwell, Oxford, ) except for quantities followed by an asterisk (\(^*\)).The first table lists Roman letter symbols, and the second lists Greek.

Quantities, Units and Symbols in Physical Chemistry, also known as the Green Book, is a compilation of terms and symbols widely used in the field of physical also includes a table of physical constants, tables listing the properties of elementary particles, chemical elements, and nuclides, and information about conversion factors that are commonly used in physical chemistry. Quantities, Units and Symbols in Physical Chemistry (3rd Edition) Details This , Third Edition, is a further revision of the material which reflects the experience of the contributors with the previous editions. Manual of Symbols and Terminology for Physicochemical Quantities and Units, Edition contains physical quantity tabulations of products. The Commission on Symbols, Terminology, and Units is a part of the Division of Physical Chemistry of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.

This e-book will, with a few exceptions, use symbols recommended in the third edition () of the IUPAC Green Book (E. Richard Cohen et al, Quantities, Units and Symbols in Physical Chemistry, 3rd edition. RSC Publishing, Cambridge, ). These symbols are listed for convenient reference in Appendices C and D. Manual of Symbols and Terminology for Physicochemical Quantities and Units–Appendix II: Definitions, Terminology and Symbols in Colloid and Surface Chemistry, Part II: Heterogeneous Catalysis presents the pertinent definitions and terminologies concerning colloid and surface chemistry. Subsequent editions of this book and of "Quantities, Units and Symbols in Physical Chemistry" have been substantially revised and extended, containing many new resolutions and recommendations from Conference Generale des Poids et Mesures, International Union of Pure and Physics, the International Organization for Standardization and : Capa Comum.
