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.
Milligram
A milligram (mg) is a unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a gram.
History/Origin
The milligram has been used in scientific and medical contexts for precise measurement of small quantities, especially in pharmacology and chemistry, with its origins linked to the metric system established in the 18th century.
Current Use
Today, the milligram is widely used in pharmaceuticals, nutrition, and scientific research to measure small amounts of substances accurately.
