About these units
Tetradrachma (Biblical Greek) (tetradrachma)
A tetradrachma weighed about 17 grams, equivalent to four drachmas. It became one of the most widely circulated silver coins in the ancient world, especially under the Athenian empire. Athenian tetradrachms, often stamped with the iconic owl design, were standardized, highly trusted, and circulated across the Mediterranean as an international currency. Although now primarily of numismatic interest, tetradrachms are key archaeological artifacts, illuminating trade networks, political authority, and artistic expression.
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.
