    Welcome to TSE. What did you try? – José Carlos Santos Mar 03 '23 at 10:57
  • \documentclass{article}

    \usepackage{nomencl} \makenomenclature

    \begin{document}

    \nomenclature{$a$}{The number of angels per unit area}% \nomenclature{$N$}{The number of angels per needle point}% \nomenclature{$A$}{The area of the needle point}%

    \nomenclature{$\sigma$}{The total mass of angels per unit area}% \nomenclature{$m$}{The mass of one angel}

    \end{document}

Although this is really not a page to let others do your work, I'll help you out. I'm sure you can complete the table yourself. You can also have a look at this question if you dislike my approach.

I'd simply use a standard tabular for this, together with the booktabs package for good-looking tables and the siunitx package for correct typesetting of SI units.

Note that if a subscript is not a mathematical object (index, counter, ...), but has a "normal language meaning" (like "o" for "oxygen", "max" for "maximum", ...) you should set it upright (a_\mathrm{b}).

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{siunitx,booktabs}

\begin{document} \begin{table}[htbp] \centering \caption{Nomenclature.} \label{tab:my_label} \begin{tabular}{lll} \toprule \textbf{Symbol} & \textbf{Description} & \textbf{Unit} \ \midrule $D$ & Diffusion coefficient in the Biofilm phase & \unit{\meter\squared\per\second} \ $D_o$ & Diffusion coefficient in the Gas phase & \unit{\meter\squared\per\second} \ \ldots & \ldots & \ldots \ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{table} \end{document}

Result

Edit

Apparently in newer versions of siunitx one is supposed to use \unit instead of \si (see here), so I changed the code accordingly.
