<p><a name="101"></a><strong>10.1 Kinds of symbols</strong></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Letter symbols are of three principal kinds: (a) symbols for quantities, (b) symbols for units, and (c) symbols for descriptive terms. Quantity symbols, which are always printed in italic (that is, sloping) type, are, with few exceptions, single letters of the Latin or Greek alphabets that may have subscripts or superscripts or other identifying signs. Symbols for units, in particular those for acceptable units, have been discussed in detail in earlier portions of this <em>Guide</em>. Symbols for descriptive terms include the symbols for the chemical elements, certain mathematical symbols, and modifying superscripts and subscripts on quantity symbols.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><a name="1011"></a><strong>10.1.1 Standardized quantity symbols</strong></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The use of words, acronyms, or other ad hoc groups of letters as quantity symbols should be avoided by NIST authors. For example, use the quantity symbol Z<sub>m</sub> for mechanical impedance, not <em>MI</em>. In fact, there are nationally and internationally accepted symbols for literally hundreds of quantities used in the physical sciences and technology. Many of these are given in Refs. <a href="https://www.nist.gov/physical-measurement-laboratory/nist-guide-si-appendix-d#04">[4]</a> and <a href="https://www.nist.gov/physical-measurement-laboratory/nist-guide-si-appendix-d#05">[5]</a>, and it is likely that symbols for the quantities used in most NIST publications can be found in these international standards or can readily be adapted from the symbols and principles given in these standards. Because of their international acceptance, NIST authors are urged to use the symbols of Refs. <a href="https://www.nist.gov/physical-measurement-laboratory/nist-guide-si-appendix-d#04">[4]</a> and <a href="https://www.nist.gov/physical-measurement-laboratory/nist-guide-si-appendix-d#05">[5]</a> to the fullest extent possible.<sup><a href="https://www.nist.gov/physical-measurement-laboratory/nist-guide-si-footnotes#05"><sup>5</sup></a></sup></p>

<p><a name="1012"></a><strong>10.1.2 Standardized mathematical signs and symbols</strong></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>As is the case for quantity symbols, most of the mathematical signs and symbols used in the physical sciences and technology are standardized. They may be found in <a href="https://www.nist.gov/physical-measurement-laboratory/nist-guide-si-appendix-d#04iso3111">Ref. [4: ISO 31-11]</a> and should be used by NIST authors to the fullest possible extent.<sup><a href="https://www.nist.gov/physical-measurement-laboratory/nist-guide-si-footnotes#05"><sup>5</sup></a></sup></p>

||

||

<p><a name="102"></a><strong>10.2 Typefaces for symbols</strong></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Most word processing systems now in use at NIST are capable of producing lightface (that is, regular) or boldface letters of the Latin or Greek alphabets in both roman (upright) and italic (sloping) types. The understandability of NIST typed and typeset scientific and technical publications is facilitated if symbols are in the correct typeface. The typeface in which a symbol appears helps to define what the symbol represents. For example, irrespective of the typeface used in the surrounding text, "A" would be typed or typeset in:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
— italic type for the <em>scalar quantity</em> area: A;<br>
|
||
— roman type for the <em>unit</em> ampere: A;<br>
|
||
— italic boldface for the <em>vector quantity</em> vector potential: A.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
More specifically, the three major categories of symbols found in scientific and technical publications should be typed or typeset in either italic or roman type, as follows:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
—symbols for <em>quantities</em> and <em>variables:</em> italic;<br>
|
||
—symbols for <em>units:</em> roman;<br>
|
||
—symbols for <em>descriptive terms:</em> roman.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
These rules imply that a subscript or superscript on a quantity symbol is in roman type if it is descriptive (for example, if it is a number or represents the name of a person or a particle); but it is in italic type if it represents a quantity, or is a variable such as <em>x</em> in E<sub><em>x</em></sub> or an index such as <em>i</em> in ∑<sub><em>i</em></sub><em>x<sub>i</sub></em> that represents a number (see Secs. <a href="https://www.nist.gov/physical-measurement-laboratory/nist-guide-si-chapter-10#1021">10.2.1</a>, <a href="https://www.nist.gov/physical-measurement-laboratory/nist-guide-si-chapter-10#1023">10.2.3</a>, and <a href="https://www.nist.gov/physical-measurement-laboratory/nist-guide-si-chapter-10#1024">10.2.4</a>). An index that represents a number is also called a "running number" <a href="https://www.nist.gov/physical-measurement-laboratory/nist-guide-si-appendix-d#04iso310">[4: ISO 31-0]</a>. <br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<em>Notes:</em></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>1. The above rules also imply, for example, that μ, the symbol for the SI prefix micro (10-6), that Ω, the symbol for the SI derived unit ohm, and that F, the symbol for the SI derived unit farad, are in roman type; but they are in italic type if they represent quantities (μ, Ω, and F are the recommended symbols for the quantities magnetic moment of a particle, solid angle, and force, respectively).</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>2. The typeface for numbers is discussed in <a href="https://www.nist.gov/physical-measurement-laboratory/nist-guide-si-chapter-10#1051">Sec. 10.5.1</a>. The following four sections give examples of the proper typefaces for these three major categories.</p>

|
||
|
||
<p>The following two sections give the rules and style conventions for the symbols for the elements.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><a name="1041"></a><strong>10.4.1 Typeface and punctuation for element symbols</strong></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Symbols for the elements are normally printed in roman type without regard to the type used in the surrounding text (see <a href="https://www.nist.gov/physical-measurement-laboratory/nist-guide-si-chapter-10#1023">Sec. 10.2.3</a>). They are not followed by a period unless at the end of a sentence.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><a name="1042"></a><strong>10.4.2 Subscripts and superscripts on element symbols</strong></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The nucleon number (mass number) of a nuclide is indicated in the left superscript position: <sup>28</sup>Si.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The number of atoms in a molecule of a particular nuclide is shown in the right subscript<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
position: <sup>1</sup>H<sub>2</sub>. The proton number (atomic number) is indicated in the left subscript position: <sub>29</sub>Cu.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The state of ionization or excitation is indicated in the right superscript position, some examples of which are as follows:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
State of ionization: Ba++<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Co(NO<sub>2</sub>)<sub>6</sub><sup>---</sup> or Co(NO<sub>2</sub> )<sup>3</sup><sub>6</sub><sup>-</sup> or [Co(NO<sub>2</sub>)<sub>6</sub>]<sup>3-</sup><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Electronic excited state: Ne*, CO*<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Nuclear excited state: <sup>15</sup>N* or <sup>15</sup>N<sup>m</sup> </p>

||
<p><a name="105"></a><strong>10.5 Printing numbers</strong></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The following three sections give rules and style conventions related to the printing of numbers.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><a name="1051"></a><strong>10.5.1 Typeface for numbers</strong></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Arabic numerals expressing the numerical values of quantities (see <a href="https://www.nist.gov/physical-measurement-laboratory/nist-guide-si-chapter-7#76">Sec. 7.6</a>) are generally printed in lightface (that is, regular) roman type irrespective of the type used for the surrounding text. Arabic numerals other than numerical values of quantities may be printed in lightface or bold italics, or in bold roman type, but lightface roman type is usually preferred.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><a name="1052"></a><strong>10.5.2 Decimal sign or marker</strong></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The recommended decimal sign or marker for use in the United States is the dot on the line [<a href="https://www.nist.gov/physical-measurement-laboratory/nist-guide-si-appendix-d#03">3</a>, <a href="https://www.nist.gov/physical-measurement-laboratory/nist-guide-si-appendix-d#06">6</a>]. For numbers less than one, a zero is written before the decimal marker. For example, 0.25 s is the correct form, <em>not</em> .25 <em>s</em>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><a name="1053"></a><strong>10.5.3 Grouping digits</strong></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Because the comma is widely used as the decimal marker outside the United States, it should not be used to separate digits into groups of three. Instead, digits should be separated into groups of three, counting from the decimal marker towards the left and right, by the use of a thin, fixed space. However, this practice is not usually followed for numbers having only four digits on either side of the decimal marker except when uniformity in a table is desired.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Examples:</p>
|
||
|
||
<table>
|
||

|

|
||
</tr>
|
||
</tbody>
|
||
</table>
|
||
|
||
<p><em>Note:</em> The practice of using a space to group digits is not usually followed in certain specialized applications, such as engineering drawings and financial statements.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><a name="1054"></a><strong>10.5.4 Multiplying numbers</strong></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>When the dot is used as the decimal marker as in the United States, the preferred sign for the multiplication of numbers or values of quantities is a cross (that is, multiplication sign) (×), not a half-high (that is, centered) dot (·).</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Examples:</p>
|
||
|
||
<table>
|
||
<tbody>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td>25 × 60.5</td>
|
||
<td><em> but not: </em></td>
|
||
<td>25·60.5</td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td>53 m/s × 10.2 s</td>
|
||
<td><em> but not: </em></td>
|
||
<td>53 m/s·10.2 s</td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td>15 × 72 kg</td>
|
||
<td><em> but not: </em></td>
|
||
<td>15·72 kg</td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
</tbody>
|
||
</table>
|
||
|
||
<p><em>Notes:</em></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>1. When the comma is used as the decimal marker, the preferred sign for the multiplication of numbers is the half-high dot. However, even when the comma is so used, this Guide prefers the cross for the multiplication of values of quantities.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>2. The multiplication of quantity symbols (or numbers in parentheses or values of quantities in parentheses) may be indicated in one of the following ways: <em>ab, a b, a</em>·<em>b, a × b.</em></p></div>
