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.
Neutron Mass (mₙ)
The neutron is slightly heavier than the proton, with a mass of 1.67492749804 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms. This subtle difference has profound implications: it allows neutrons to undergo beta decay outside the nucleus, transforming into protons, electrons, and antineutrinos. Neutrons play a crucial role in nuclear reactions, especially in reactors and stars. Their ability to penetrate atomic nuclei (due to lack of electric charge) makes them highly effective in initiating fission or fusion processes. The neutron mass helps determine nuclear binding energy and isotopic stability, shaping the entire periodic table.
