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.
Quintal (Metric) (cwt (m))
The metric quintal, equal to 100 kilograms, is commonly used in agriculture for measuring harvest yields, livestock feed, and bulk commodities such as grains, sugar, and potatoes. Its simplicity makes it popular in countries with strong agricultural sectors. Farmers, traders, and cooperatives find the quintal more intuitive for medium-sized loads than kilograms or metric tons. Though not an SI unit, it remains deeply embedded in agricultural commerce throughout Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
