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.
Hectogram
A hectogram (hg) is a unit of mass equal to 100 grams.
History/Origin
The hectogram is part of the metric system, introduced in the 19th century as a decimal-based system for standardizing measurements, primarily used in scientific and everyday contexts.
Current Use
The hectogram is used in some countries for measuring food and other small quantities, especially in the context of nutrition labels and grocery shopping, but is less common than grams and kilograms.
