Bohr Radius
The Bohr radius is the most probable distance between the proton and the electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state, approximately 5.29 x 10⁻¹¹ meters.
History/Origin
The Bohr radius is named after Niels Bohr, who proposed a model of the atom in 1913. It is the atomic unit of length.
Current Use
The Bohr radius is a fundamental constant in atomic physics and is used to simplify calculations and equations.
Hand
A hand is a unit of length equal to 4 inches.
History/Origin
The hand was originally the width of a man's hand, including the thumb. It was standardized to 4 inches for measuring the height of horses.
Current Use
