2-Propanol | A clear, colorless, flammable, mobile liquid, (CH3)2CHOH, used in antifreeze compounds, in lotions and cosmetics, and as a solvent for gums, shellac, and essential oils. |
beta particles | a fast-moving electron emitted by radioactive decay of substances. (The emission of beta particles was originally regarded as a ray.). |
biotic index | Scheme for grading river quality according to the diversity and abundance of the river fauna present, with particular reference to ‘key species’ with known pollution tolerances. The scale ranges from 10 (clean water) to 0 (gross) |

genus | a principal taxonomic category that ranks above species and below family, and is denoted by a capitalized Latin name, e.g., Leo. |
lithium chloride | a white, water-soluble, deliquescent, crystalline solid, LiCl, used chiefly in the manufacture of mineral water, especially lithia water, and as a flux in metallurgy. |
manometer | an instrument for measuring the pressure of a fluid, consisting of a tube filled with a liquid, the level of the liquid being determined by the fluid pressure and the height of the liquid being indicated on a scale. |
mesopause | the boundary or transition zone between the mesosphere and the ionosphere. |
mesosphere | (in the classification of the earth's atmosphere by chemical properties) the region between the ionosphere and the exosphere, extending from about 250–650 miles (400–1050 km) above the surface of the earth. |
microscopy | the use of the microscope. |
paleozoic | noting or pertaining to an era occurring between 570 million and 230 million years ago, characterized by the advent of fish, insects, and reptiles. |
