About these units
Electron Mass (mₑ)
The electron mass, approximately 9.10938356 × 10⁻³¹ kilograms, is a fundamental constant of nature and a cornerstone of atomic physics. Because electrons determine atomic structure, bonding, and electrical properties, their mass plays a crucial role in chemistry and solid-state physics. The smallness of the electron mass allows quantum phenomena to dominate electron behavior, enabling orbitals, tunneling, and band structures in materials. Electrons' tiny mass also affects how atoms interact with electromagnetic radiation, influencing spectral lines and optical properties. In particle physics, the electron mass is one of the defining parameters of the Standard Model, impacting interactions across quantum electrodynamics (QED) and beyond.
Decigram (dg)
A decigram equals 1/10 of a gram and appears in older scientific literature, pharmaceutical compounding, and some food chemistry applications. Today, milligrams and grams are more common, but decigrams still offer practical value when describing masses that naturally fall between these scales, such as certain supplements or cosmetic ingredients. The decigram remains a reminder of the metric system's logical progression, offering users a consistent, scalable set of units.
