Atomic Mass Unit
The atomic mass unit (u) is a standard unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights, defined as one twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
History/Origin
The atomic mass unit was introduced in the early 20th century to provide a convenient scale for atomic weights. It was originally based on the mass of hydrogen but was later standardized to be one twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom, which was adopted as a reference in 1961 by the IUPAC.
Current Use
The atomic mass unit is widely used in chemistry and physics to express atomic and molecular masses, facilitating calculations in molecular chemistry, nuclear physics, and related fields.
Mina (Biblical Greek)
The mina is an ancient unit of weight used in biblical Greek contexts, typically equivalent to about 50 shekels or roughly 0.6 kilograms.
History/Origin
The mina was used in the ancient Near East, including Greece and the Levant, dating back to the early Iron Age. It was a standard measure for trade and commerce in biblical times and was later adopted in various forms by different cultures.
Current Use
Today, the mina is primarily used in historical and biblical studies to understand ancient texts and measurements. It is not used as a modern unit of measurement but is included in historical weight and mass converters for educational purposes.
