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.
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.
