Deuteron Mass
The deuteron mass (m_d) is the mass of a deuteron, which is the nucleus of deuterium consisting of one proton and one neutron, approximately 3.3436 × 10^-27 kilograms.
History/Origin
The deuteron mass has been determined through nuclear physics experiments involving mass spectrometry and nuclear reactions, with precise measurements becoming available in the 20th century as experimental techniques advanced.
Current Use
The deuteron mass is used in nuclear physics, astrophysics, and related fields to calculate nuclear reactions, binding energies, and in the calibration of mass spectrometers involving deuterium nuclei.
Centigram
A centigram (cg) is a unit of mass equal to one hundredth of a gram, primarily used for measuring small quantities.
History/Origin
The centigram was introduced as part of the metric system in the 19th century to facilitate precise measurements in science and commerce, especially in contexts requiring small mass units.
Current Use
Today, the centigram is mainly used in scientific, medical, and jewelry contexts where precise small measurements are necessary, although grams are more commonly used in everyday applications.
