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.
Gigagram
A gigagram (Gg) is a unit of mass equal to one billion grams or one million kilograms.
History/Origin
The gigagram is part of the metric system, introduced as a standard unit for large masses in scientific and industrial contexts, with its usage becoming more common in the 20th century as measurements for large quantities expanded.
Current Use
Gigagrams are used in fields such as engineering, environmental science, and industry to quantify large masses, including biomass, emissions, and bulk materials.
