Neutron Mass
The neutron mass (m_n) is the mass of a neutron, a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, approximately 1.675 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms.
History/Origin
The neutron was discovered in 1932 by James Chadwick, leading to the understanding of its mass relative to protons and electrons. The neutron mass has been refined through experimental measurements in nuclear physics.
Current Use
The neutron mass is used in nuclear physics calculations, atomic mass units, and in the 'Weight and Mass' converter for scientific and educational purposes, as part of the 'Common Converters' category.
Gram
The gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a kilogram.
History/Origin
The gram was originally defined in 1795 as the mass of one cubic centimeter of water at its maximum density. It became part of the metric system established in France and was later standardized as part of the International System of Units (SI) in 1960.
Current Use
The gram is widely used worldwide for measuring small masses in everyday life, science, and industry, especially in contexts like food labeling, pharmaceuticals, and laboratory measurements.
