The Imperial gallon was based on the concept that an Imperial fluid ounce of water would have a mass of one Avoirdupois ounce, and indeed 1 g/cm 3 ≈ 1.00224129 ounces per Imperial fluid ounce = 10.0224129 pounds per Imperial gallon. The density of precious metals could conceivably be based on Troy ounces and pounds, a possible cause of confusion.
For example, the mass of an unbound atom of the common hydrogen isotope (hydrogen-1, protium) is 1.007 825 032 241 (94) Da, [a] the mass of a proton is 1.007 276 466 5789 (83) Da, [8] the mass of a free neutron is 1.008 664 916 06 (40) Da, [9] and the mass of a hydrogen-2 (deuterium) atom is 2.014 101 778 114 (122) Da.

1 Bq = 1 s −1. A special name was introduced for the reciprocal second (s −1) to represent radioactivity to avoid potentially dangerous mistakes with prefixes.For example, 1 μs −1 would mean 10 6 disintegrations per second: (10 −6 s) −1 = 10 6 s −1, [4] whereas 1 μBq would mean 1 disintegration per 1 million seconds.
