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.
Rod
A rod, also known as a perch or pole, is a unit of length equal to 16.5 feet, or 5.5 yards.
History/Origin
The rod has been used as a unit of measurement in England since at least the 13th century. It was a convenient length for measuring land.
Current Use
The rod is now an archaic unit of measurement, though it may still be encountered in old land deeds.
