In order to make material readable on World Wide Web a number of modifications have been made. Greek and other symbols which are not available as a basic ASCII symbol are mainly provided as a graphic representation. Increasingly the font symbol is being used, but an alternative graphic representation is also provided. The size and position of a graphic representation may not match the font size of the browser and allowance should be made for this. Please consult the printed version if in doubt.

• Subscripts e.g. ethanol C₂H₅OH
• Superscripts e.g. sodium chloride Na⁺Cl^-
• Greek, etc e.g. -amino acid(graphic Greek) or a-amino acid (using symbol) or α

Due to the lack of control over the format beware of molecular formulae which may be spread over two lines with the split before or after a subscript number.
