Stephen Bahl Has Triple Bonds

So I totally realize that I can use a symbol for a triple bond. Yep. It makes things easier. Like here's ethyne, also known as acetylene...

H—C≡C—H

I chose that molecule because I didn't even need MS Paint to do it. Awesome. I'm so excited to have that symbol at my disposal...

≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡

Awesome. The symbol is actually available because of its meaning in logic and mathematics, not because of anything to do with chemistry. But I'll take what I can get.

  1. Other symbols I might really want to use...

    — single bond
    ° degrees sign
    σ sigma
    π pi
    Maybe some other Greek letters used in chemistry...
    Δ Delta
    α alpha
    β beta
    λ lambda
    μ mu
    ν nu
