Abstract: This Part II of AppendixIItto the Manual of Symbols and Terminology for Physicochemical Quantities and Units; (hereinafter referred to as the Manual) has been prepared by the Commission on Colloid and Surface Chemistry of the Division of Physical Chemistry of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.It is the outcome of extensive discussions within the Commission § and its Task Force headed by Professor Burwell, with other IUPAC Commissions, and with persons outside IUPAC during the period 1970-1975.Among the latter, special mention must be made to Professors M. Boudart (USA), J. B. Butt (USA), and F. S. Stone (UK).A tentative version of these proposals was issued as Appendix 39 (August 1974) on Tentative Nomenclature, Symbols, Units and Standards to IUPAC Information Bulletin.The text has been revised in the light of the criticisms, comments, and suggestions which were received, and the present version was prepared by the Commission and formally adopted by the IUPAC Council at its meeting in Madrid, Spain, in September 1975.It was feit that the use of unambiguous terminology would promote communication and avoid misunderstandings among workers in heterogeneaus catalysis and that a Iist of preferred symbols would be useful in many tPart I of Appendix II, Definitions, Terminology and Symbols in Colloid and Surface Chemistry, prepared for publication by D. H. Everett, Pure Appl.Chem., 31, 579-638 (1972).tManual of Symbols and Terminology for Physicochemical Quantities and Units (1973 Edn.), prepared for publication by M. L. McGlashan and M. A.
