ortho-hydrogen

Japanese: ortho-hydrogen(英語表記)orthohydrogen
ortho-hydrogen

...As shown in the Pauli principle, the pair of electrons that make up a covalent bond must always rotate (spin) in opposite directions, but in hydrogen molecules, the protons in the nucleus also have a spin, and the spins of these two nuclei can either be in the same direction or in the opposite direction. The former is called ortho-hydrogen, and the latter is called para-hydrogen. At room temperature, the ratio of ortho-hydrogen to para-hydrogen is 3:1, and there is little change, but at low temperatures, para-hydrogen becomes more easily produced, and by using a magnetic material as a catalyst at extremely low temperatures, it is possible to obtain almost pure para-hydrogen. ...

Japanese:

…共有結合をつくっている1対の電子は,〈パウリの原理〉に示されるように,つねに反対方向の自転運動(スピン運動)をしていなければならないが,水素分子ではさらに核の陽子もスピンをもっており,この二つの核のスピンがどちらも同方向の場合と,たがいに反対方向のものとが存在し得る。前者をオルト水素ortho‐hydrogen,後者をパラ水素para‐hydrogenという。常温付近ではオルト水素とパラ水素の比は3対1であってほとんど変化しないが,低温になるとパラ水素のほうが生じやすくなり,極低温で磁性体を触媒に使うなどの方法によれば,ほとんど純粋のパラ水素を得ることも可能になる。…
