A decimeter is a metric length unit equal to one tenth of a metre, useful for measuring moderate-sized objects.

What does the Bohr radius represent?

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

Why convert decimeters to Bohr radius?

This conversion helps express macroscopic lengths in atomic scales, which is crucial in quantum chemistry and computational physics.
