Bohr Radius
The Bohr radius is the most probable distance between the proton and the electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state, approximately 5.29 x 10⁻¹¹ meters.
History/Origin
The Bohr radius is named after Niels Bohr, who proposed a model of the atom in 1913. It is the atomic unit of length.
Current Use
The Bohr radius is a fundamental constant in atomic physics and is used to simplify calculations and equations.
Handbreadth
A handbreadth is an ancient unit of length, based on the width of the hand at the knuckles, excluding the thumb. It is typically about 3 inches.
History/Origin
The handbreadth has been used as a unit of measurement in many cultures throughout history.
Current Use
The handbreadth is an obsolete unit of measurement.
