Many scientists have criticized the plausibility of cryptids due to lack of physical evidence, [7] likely misidentifications [8] and misinterpretation of stories from folklore. [9] While biologists regularly identify new species following established scientific methodology, cryptozoologists focus on entities mentioned in the folklore record and ...
The term cryptid is used by proponents of cryptozoology, a pseudoscience, to refer to beings that cryptozoologists believe may in fact exist but have not yet been discovered. This category is for notable examples of entities that cryptozoologists have considered to be cryptids

Using equation 5, the formula can be simplified into the following form where the enthalpy of formation can be directly calculated: [v ′ ′ {\displaystyle \prime \prime } Mg ] = exp ( − Δ f H / 2 k B T + Δ f S / 2 k B ) = A exp ( − Δ f H / 2 k B T ) , where A is a constant containing the entropic term.
A mnemonic is a memory aid used to improve long-term memory and make the process of consolidation easier. Many chemistry aspects, rules, names of compounds, sequences of elements, their reactivity, etc., can be easily and efficiently memorized with the help of mnemonics.
