Hartree defined units based on three physical constants: [1]: 91 Both in order to eliminate various universal constants from the equations and also to avoid high powers of 10 in numerical work, it is convenient to express quantities in terms of units, which may be called 'atomic units', defined as follows:
Portrait of Anders Ångström [15]. In 1868, Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström created a chart of the spectrum of sunlight, in which he expressed the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum in multiples of one ten-millionth of a millimetre (or 10 −7 mm.) [16] [17] Ångström's chart and table of wavelengths in the solar spectrum became widely used in ...
Consider the set X = {1, 2, ..., 9, 10} and let the sigma-algebra be the power set of X. Define the measure of a set to be its cardinality, that is, the number of elements in the set. Then, each of the singletons {i}, for i = 1, 2, ..., 9, 10 is an atom. Consider the Lebesgue measure on the real line. This measure has no atoms.
Under some definitions, the value of the radius may depend on the atom's state and context. [1] Atomic radii vary in a predictable and explicable manner across the periodic table. For instance, the radii generally decrease rightward along each period (row) of the table, from the alkali metals to the noble gases; and increase down each group ...

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.
The femtometre (American spelling femtometer), symbol fm, [1] [2] (derived from the Danish and Norwegian word femten 'fifteen', Ancient Greek: μέτρον, romanized: metron, lit. 'unit of measurement') is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 10 −15 metres , which means a quadrillionth of one metre.
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.
