  2. Angstrom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angstrom

    The atomic (covalent) radii of phosphorus, sulfur, and chlorine are about 1 angstrom, while that of hydrogen is about 0.5 angstroms. Visible light has wavelengths in the range of 4000–7000 Å. In the late 19th century, spectroscopists adopted 10 −10 of a metre as a convenient unit to express the wavelengths of characteristic spectral lines ...

  3. Atomic units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_units

    Hartree defined units based on three physical constants: [1]: 91 Both in order to eliminate various universal constants from the equations and also to avoid high powers of 10 in numerical work, it is convenient to express quantities in terms of units, which may be called 'atomic units', defined as follows:

  4. List of conversion factors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conversion_factors

    Conversions between units in the metric system are defined by their prefixes (for example, 1 kilogram = 1000 grams, 1 milligram = 0.001 grams) and are thus not listed in this article. Exceptions are made if the unit is commonly known by another name (for example, 1 micron = 10 −6 metre).

  5. Lattice constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_constant

    Their SI unit is the meter, and they are traditionally specified in angstroms (Å); an angstrom being 0.1 nanometer (nm), or 100 picometres (pm). Typical values start at a few angstroms. The angles α, β, and γ are usually specified in degrees.

    1 m – approximate height of the top part of a doorknob on a door; 1 m – diameter of a very large beach ball; 1.29 m – length of the Cross Island Chapel, the smallest church in the world; 1.4 m – length of a Peel P50, the world's smallest car; 1.435 m – standard gauge of railway track used by about 60% of railways in the world = 4 ft 8 ...

  7. Debye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debye

    Typical dipole moments for simple diatomic molecules are in the range of 0 to 11 D. Molecules with symmetry point groups or containing inversion symmetry will not have a permanent dipole moment, while highly ionic molecular species have a very large dipole moment, e.g. gas-phase potassium bromide, KBr, with a dipole moment of 10.41 D. [3] A proton and an electron 1 Å apart have a dipole ...
