Will start updating this page soon. TheSun 02:49, 22 October 2007 (UTC) Hi, I wonder if you could add electrophoresis to the list of Chemistry terms? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.180.238.34 (talk) 20:57, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Deletion

Strong Keep - If there is a problem with this page, one must delete all these pages also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_glossaries . Nowhere does it say that Wikipedia is not glossary. If I'm mistaking, please point me directly to this spot. I will remove the deletion template in three days if there is little or no proof in support of deletion. TheSun 04:40, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Flashcards link

We wanted to learn all these terms in a flashcard format so we built one and made it freely available. Thought it would be helpful for anyone who wanted to learn the content of this glossary in a flashcard format like Anki to also be able to discover that they exist and have access to it from the source.

Was going to suggest it to be added in the external links section like the following but as it is linking to our own site, following the instructions of the Wikipedia guidelines, thought it would be best to leave this in the talk page for other contributors to see if it would be relevant or see if there was a better place/format to put it

Avogadro constant and Avogadro number

PJsg1011, I'm not sure what you mean here. We can have both definitions, by all means, but we should be clear that the Avogadro constant is not the same thing as the Avogadro number. Perhaps we can fully split the entries? 172.82.46.195 (talk) 19:46, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

My apologies – yes, that's precisely what I meant, the entries should be split and both definitions should be retained, as you've done. The distinction between the constant and the number is important and valuable. I made a few small subsequent edits − first, I added "discrete" again because I think it's important to emphasize that the Avogadro number counts things that must be considered indivisible for the purposes of the counting. Second, I reorganized the phrasing of the Avogadro number definition. Third, I moved the shorthand notation N_A into parentheses after the term itself, which I hope will be adopted as a glossary-wide standard for indicating all shorthand symbols and abbreviations. Happy to discuss further if any of this is problematic. I'm also open to preserving just one or the other entry if it does not prove too confusing to combine both concepts concisely into a single definition.—PJsg1011 (talk) 22:03, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

It looks great to me as you've adjusted it. 172.82.46.195 (talk) 22:51, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
