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.
Megagram
A megagram (Mg) is a unit of mass equal to one million grams or 1,000 kilograms.
History/Origin
The megagram was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a larger unit of mass, primarily used in scientific and industrial contexts. It is also known as a metric ton in some regions, though this can vary by country.
Current Use
The megagram is used in scientific, industrial, and environmental fields to measure large quantities of mass, especially where the metric system is standard. It is commonly used in contexts such as agriculture, manufacturing, and environmental science.
