What is the X-unit used for?

The X-unit is a historical length unit used mainly in X-ray crystallography and spectroscopy to express wavelengths and lattice spacings.

What does the classical electron radius represent?

It is a derived length scale representing a characteristic scattering length in physics, not the physical size of an electron.

Why convert between X-unit and electron radius?

Converting facilitates comparison between historical X-ray measurements and fundamental scattering length scales used in modern physics.
