What is an electron-volt (eV)?

An electron-volt is the energy an electron gains when accelerated through a potential difference of one volt, equal to exactly 1.602176634×10⁻¹⁹ joules.

What does kilopond meter (kp*m) measure?

Kilopond meter measures work or energy done by a force of one kilopond acting through a displacement of one meter, defined as exactly 9.80665 joules.

Why convert electron-volts to kilopond meters?

This conversion helps interpret atomic-scale energies in terms of classical mechanical work, especially useful for legacy engineering data and historical documentation.
