The equations don't contain any cesium (Cs) , Hassium (Hs), or Osmium (Os). Indeed, even if one wanted to add atoms of some two-letter elements (e.g gallium), I would think Ga's would be clearer than Gas. | |

I link to it quite a bit because a few questions touch on one aspect of it or another and there's no point repeating oneself, but I it means I spot typos and bad repetitions each time that I could live with when I wrote it but are beginning to make me cringe. | |
