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.
Gerah (Biblical Hebrew) (gerah)
A gerah, approximately 0.57 grams, is the smallest unit in the Hebrew weight system. 1 shekel = 20 gerahs Gerahs were used for minute quantities of precious metals or spices for ritual purposes. Biblical texts refer to gerahs in the context of sanctuary offerings and priestly duties. The gerah illustrates the fine-grained precision required for temple rituals and daily commerce in the ancient Near East.
