Please provide values below to convert Bohr radius [a.u.] to chain (US survey) [ch (US)], or Convert chain (US survey) to Bohr radius.
How to Convert Bohr Radius to Chain (Us Survey)
1 a.u. = 2.63051853449885e-12 ch (US)
Example: convert 15 a.u. to ch (US):
15 a.u. = 15 × 2.63051853449885e-12 ch (US) = 3.94577780174827e-11 ch (US)

Bohr Radius
The Bohr radius is the most probable distance between the proton and the electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state, approximately 5.29 x 10⁻¹¹ meters.
History/Origin
The Bohr radius is named after Niels Bohr, who proposed a model of the atom in 1913. It is the atomic unit of length.
Current Use
The Bohr radius is a fundamental constant in atomic physics and is used to simplify calculations and equations.
Chain (Us Survey)
A U.S. survey chain is a unit of length equal to 66 U.S. survey feet.
History/Origin
The U.S. survey chain is based on the U.S. survey foot, which was slightly different from the international foot. The use of survey units was officially phased out in 2022.
Current Use
The U.S. survey chain was used for land surveying in the United States.
