What is a hectometer?

A hectometer is a metric unit of length equal to 100 metres, used especially in topographic mapping, land measurement, and civil engineering.

What does the Bohr radius represent?

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

Why convert hectometers to Bohr radii?

Such conversions allow expressing macroscopic distances in atomic-scale units, facilitating calculations in fields like quantum chemistry and computational physics.
