What does one kiloelectron-volt (keV) represent?

One kiloelectron-volt (keV) equals 1,000 electronvolts and is used to express energies of particles and photons at the atomic scale.

Why use kilopond meter (kp*m) for energy?

Kilopond meter represents mechanical work done by a force over a distance and is used in historical engineering and legacy calculations involving kilogram-force units.

Is the kilopond meter still commonly used today?

The kilopond meter has largely been replaced by the joule and is mainly relevant in older engineering texts and legacy energy data.
