Not typically used for direct experimental measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is an attometer?
-
An attometer is an SI unit of length equal to 10⁻¹⁸ metres, used to measure extremely small distances in subnuclear and high-energy physics.
-
What does the Bohr radius represent?
-
The Bohr radius is the atomic unit of length equal to the most probable distance between the nucleus and electron in a hydrogen atom's ground state.
-
Why convert from attometers to Bohr radius?
-
This conversion connects tiny subnuclear scales to atomic-scale distances needed in quantum chemistry and computational physics models.
