  2. List of physical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_constants

    The constants listed here are known values of physical constants expressed in SI units; that is, physical quantities that are generally believed to be universal in nature and thus are independent of the unit system in which they are measured. Many of these are redundant, in the sense that they obey a known relationship with other physical ...

  3. Atomic units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_units

    A set of base units in the atomic system as in one proposal are the electron rest mass, the magnitude of the electronic charge, the Planck constant, and the permittivity. [6] [9] In the atomic units system, each of these takes the value 1; the corresponding values in the International System of Units [10]: 132 are given in the table.

    A Portuguese translation (Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese) of the third edition of the Green Book (ISBN 978-85-64099-19-7) was published in 2018, with updated values of the physical constants and atomic weights; it is referred to as the "Livro Verde".

    Faraday constant: coulombs per mole (C⋅mol −1) frequency: hertz (Hz) function: friction: newton (N) electrical conductance: siemens (S) universal gravitational constant: newton meter squared per kilogram squared (N⋅m 2 /kg 2) shear modulus: pascal (Pa) or newton per square meter (N/m 2) gluon field strength tensor

  6. Physical constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_constant

    A physical constant, sometimes fundamental physical constant or universal constant, is a physical quantity that cannot be explained by a theory and therefore must be measured experimentally. It is distinct from a mathematical constant , which has a fixed numerical value, but does not directly involve any physical measurement.

  7. List of dimensionless quantities - Wikipedia

    Atomic weight: M: chemistry (mass of one atom divided by the atomic mass constant, 1 Da) Bodenstein number: Bo or Bd = / = Max Bodenstein: chemistry (residence-time distribution; similar to the axial mass transfer Peclet number) [2] Damköhler numbers: Da

  8. Fine-structure constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine-structure_constant

    The fine-structure constant gives the maximum positive charge of an atomic nucleus that will allow a stable electron-orbit around it within the Bohr model (element feynmanium). [20] For an electron orbiting an atomic nucleus with atomic number Z the relation is ⁠ mv 2 / r ⁠ = ⁠ 1 / 4πε 0 ⁠ ⁠ Ze 2 / r 2 ⁠.

  9. Bohr radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_radius

    Nevertheless, the Bohr radius formula remains central in atomic physics calculations, due to its simple relationship with fundamental constants (this is why it is defined using the true electron mass rather than the reduced mass, as mentioned above). As such, it became the unit of length in atomic units.
