I'm not sure exactly what triangle you are talking about, but if it is in an equation, it means "change in" whatever variable it is next to (and the proper word for it is "delta").
In the specific case where it's written under or over the arrow in a reaction, it means "heat" as in "you have to heat this in order to make the reaction happen."
A point-down triangle is pronounced "del" and is somewhat different mathematically, but it's still related to the concept of change. A triangle can also be an instrument in chemistry that holds a crucible in labs.
ok well i think what your asking, is what the triangle above the arrow in an equation means. I'm pretty sure it means heat. So if there is a triangle above the arrow in a reaction equation it means that heat was used to make this reaction occurs. hope that helps

A positive triangle symbol (Δ+) above a molecule indicates that the molecule is electrophilic, meaning it can accept electrons in a chemical reaction. This symbol is often used in organic chemistry to represent an electron-deficient species that can react with nucleophiles.
Fire triangle has three things called Oxygen , fuel and heat [ these are the things you need to create a fire !
It is because it has positive charges (from 2 H) and negative charges (from O), that the charges balance out (negative + positive = neutral) (2H+) + (O2-) -----> H2O
A positive ion is an atom or molecule that has lost one or more electrons, resulting in a net positive electrical charge. Examples include the hydrogen ion (H+) and the sodium ion (Na+).
The fat molecule that has the most H, or hydrogen, atoms is the saturated fat molecule. This is because this particular molecule has no double bonds in its structure.
The bonding between oxygen and hydrogen in the water molecule is a covalent bond. This bond involves the sharing of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms, resulting in a stable molecule. The oxygen atom attracts electrons more strongly than the hydrogen atoms, creating a polar molecule with partial positive and negative charges.
When H and S are both positive
