  25. pressure (P)
    • should $P_A$, $P_B$ (if fully annotated) be read pressure-cap-a, pressure-cap-b ?
    • similarly $M_A$, $M_B$ (if fully annotated) be read molar-mass-cap-a, molar-mass-cap-b ?
    • note $P_A = 1 \mathrm{k}\mathrm{Pa}$ is potentially confusing if both P are spoken "cap p", rather than "pressure-A is equal to one kilo pascal"

  6. :system-of-equations
  7. :lewis-diagram or :lewis-structure

  8. :electron-configuration
    • e.g. $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^{10} 4p^5$ (page 228)
