  2. Angstrom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angstrom

    The atomic (covalent) radii of phosphorus, sulfur, and chlorine are about 1 angstrom, while that of hydrogen is about 0.5 angstroms. Visible light has wavelengths in the range of 4000–7000 Å. In the late 19th century, spectroscopists adopted 10 −10 of a metre as a convenient unit to express the wavelengths of characteristic spectral lines ...

  3. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    The picometre (SI symbol: pm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −12 metres (⁠ 1 / 1 000 000 000 000 ⁠ m = 0. 000 000 000 001 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude this section lists lengths between 10 −12 and 10 −11 m (1 pm and 10 pm). 1 pm – distance between atomic nuclei in a white dwarf [citation ...

  5. Debye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debye

    [note 2] Historically the debye was defined as the dipole moment resulting from two charges of opposite sign but an equal magnitude of 10 −10 statcoulomb [note 3] (generally called e.s.u. (electrostatic unit) in older scientific literature), which were separated by 1 ångström. [note 4] This gave a convenient unit for molecular dipole moments.

    They noted that the unit of length in this system is the radius of the first Bohr orbit and their velocity is the electron velocity in Bohr's model of the first orbit. In 1959, Shull and Hall [4] advocated atomic units based on Hartree's model but again chose to use ⁠ ⁠ as the defining unit.

  7. Lattice constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_constant

    Unit cell definition using parallelepiped with lengths a, b, c and angles between the sides given by α, β, γ [1]. A lattice constant or lattice parameter is one of the physical dimensions and angles that determine the geometry of the unit cells in a crystal lattice, and is proportional to the distance between atoms in the crystal.

    It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the caesium frequency, ∆ν Cs, the unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transition frequency of the caesium 133 atom, to be 9 192 631 770 when expressed in the unit Hz, which is equal to s −1."
