2. In specific uses:

a. Chemistry. An atom, radical, or element that has the combining power of two units, i.e. of two atoms of hydrogen.

dyad1865

1865 Reader 1 Apr. 372/2 Each of these atoms combines usually with three monads, or with one dyad and one monad.

1868 H. B. Jones & H. Watts Fownes's Man. Elem. Chem. (ed. 10) 259 Sulphur, selenium, and tellurium, are usually regarded as dyads.

b. Biology. A secondary unit of organization consisting of an aggregate of monads. Hence dyaddeme.

ΚΠ

1883 P. Geddes in Encycl. Brit. XVI. 843/2 Starting from the unit of the first order, the plastid or monad, and terming any undifferentiated aggregate a deme, we have a monad-deme integrating into a secondary unit or dyad, this rising through dyad-demes into a triad, these forming triad-demes, etc.

c. Prosody. A group of two lines having different rhythms.

dyad1885

1885 B. L. Gildersleeve Pindar p. liii Dyads and triads there are in Pindar, but they do not disturb the rhythmical working of the odes.

d. Mathematics. An operator ab so defined that F. (ab) = (F.a)b for all F, where a and b are vectors and F is any linear vector function.

ΚΠ

1884 J. W. Gibbs Coll. Wks. (1928) II. ii. iii. 53 An expression of the form αλ or βμ will be called a dyad.

1933 H. B. Phillips Vector Anal. x. 217 A linear equation satisfied by dyads will remain valid if each dyad is replaced by the dot or cross product of its two vectors.

1969 Ll. G. Chambers Course Vector Anal. vi. 181 Consider now the dyad, or indefinite product of two vectors a and b, ab... This has the properties that (ab). F = a(b. F) and F. (ab) = (F. a)b.
