Preferred Label : nuclear quadrupole moment (spectroscopic);
IUPAC definition : A parameter which describes the effective shape of the equivalent ellipsoid of the
nuclear charge distribution, Q 0 for prolate (e.g. sup 57 /sup Fe, sup 197 /sup
Au); Q 0 for oblate (e.g. sup 119 /sup Sn, sup 129 /sup I) nuclei.;
