Proton Mass
The proton mass (m_p) is the mass of a proton, a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, approximately 1.6726219 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms.
History/Origin
The proton mass was first measured in the early 20th century through experiments involving atomic and nuclear physics, notably by Ernest Rutherford and subsequent researchers refining the value through scattering experiments and mass spectrometry.
Current Use
The proton mass is used as a fundamental constant in physics and chemistry, serving as a standard unit of mass in atomic and nuclear calculations, and is essential in defining atomic mass units and understanding nuclear reactions.
Teragram
A teragram (Tg) is a unit of mass equal to one trillion grams or 10^12 grams.
History/Origin
The teragram is part of the metric system and was introduced as a larger unit for measuring very large masses, especially in scientific contexts, to facilitate easier expression of large quantities.
Current Use
Teragrams are used primarily in scientific fields such as environmental science, geology, and astronomy to quantify large masses, like global emissions or mineral deposits.
