What is a dalton used to measure?

A dalton measures atomic and molecular masses, commonly applied in chemistry, biochemistry, and related sciences.

Why convert daltons to metric tons?

Converting daltons to metric tons helps represent very small masses in terms of large mass units for industrial and environmental analysis.

Can this conversion be used for measuring single particles practically?

No, the conversion is mainly theoretical because individual particle masses in daltons translate to extremely small quantities of metric tons.
