About these units
Gram (g)
The gram is one-thousandth of a kilogram and is widely used in everyday life for measuring food, medicines, small components, and scientific samples. Its scale is convenient for objects too light to measure in kilograms yet too heavy for milligrams. Chemists, biologists, and lab technicians rely heavily on grams to quantify reagents, biological specimens, powders, and liquids. The gram appears frequently in nutrition labels, recipes, and manufacturing specifications. As a metric unit, the gram benefits from simplicity and ease of conversion—just move the decimal to reach milligrams or kilograms. Its intuitive scale makes it one of the most universally recognized units in the world.
Proton Mass (mₕ (p))
The proton mass, approximately 1.67262192369 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms, is central to chemistry, nuclear physics, and cosmology. Protons, along with neutrons, form the nuclei of atoms and therefore compose most of the mass of ordinary matter. The proton mass arises from the strong nuclear force and the dynamics of quarks and gluons within quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Interestingly, most of the proton's mass is not from its constituent quarks but from the energy stored in the strong force. Understanding the proton mass helps scientists explore nuclear stability, binding energies, and stellar nucleosynthesis—the processes that form elements inside stars.
