An angstrom is a unit of length equal to 1×10⁻¹⁰ metres, commonly used to describe atomic and molecular scale distances.

What does the Bohr radius represent?

The Bohr radius is the most probable distance between the nucleus and electron in a hydrogen atom's ground state, used as an atomic unit of length.

Why convert angstroms to Bohr radii?

Conversion simplifies atomic and quantum mechanical calculations by expressing distances in atomic units.
