Electron Mass (Rest)
The electron mass (rest) is the invariant mass of an electron, approximately 9.10938356 × 10⁻³¹ kilograms, representing the mass of an electron at rest.
History/Origin
The electron mass was first measured in the early 20th century through experiments involving cathode rays and later refined with advancements in particle physics, establishing it as a fundamental constant in physics.
Current Use
The electron mass is used in calculations involving atomic and subatomic physics, quantum mechanics, and in defining units related to particle properties, such as in the 'Weight and Mass' converter for scientific and educational purposes.
Dalton
The dalton (Da) is a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights, equivalent to one atomic mass unit (amu).
History/Origin
The dalton was named after John Dalton, who developed early atomic theory in the early 19th century. It has been widely used in chemistry and biochemistry to measure atomic and molecular masses.
Current Use
The dalton is commonly used in scientific contexts to specify the mass of atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles, facilitating precise communication in chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology.
