Bekan (Biblical Hebrew)
The bekan is a historical unit of weight used in Biblical Hebrew, typically measuring a small amount of mass, often associated with precious metals or weights in ancient times.
History/Origin
The bekan originates from ancient Israelite measurements and is referenced in biblical texts. It was used during the period of the Hebrew Bible to denote a standard weight, though its exact value varied over time and context.
Current Use
Today, the bekan is primarily of historical and scholarly interest, with no modern standardization or practical application in contemporary weight measurement systems.
Atomic Mass Unit
The atomic mass unit (u) is a standard unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights, defined as one twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
History/Origin
The atomic mass unit was introduced in the early 20th century to provide a convenient scale for atomic weights. It was originally based on the mass of hydrogen but was later standardized to be one twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom, which was adopted as a reference in 1961 by the IUPAC.
Current Use
The atomic mass unit is widely used in chemistry and physics to express atomic and molecular masses, facilitating calculations in molecular chemistry, nuclear physics, and related fields.
