Stone (Uk)
A stone (st) is a British unit of weight equal to 14 pounds avoirdupois, primarily used for measuring body weight.
History/Origin
The stone has origins in medieval England, where it was used as a practical unit of weight for trade and commerce. Its use has persisted in the UK for measuring human body weight, despite the metric system's adoption elsewhere.
Current Use
Today, the stone is still commonly used in the UK and Ireland for personal weight measurement, especially in the context of health and fitness, although it is largely replaced by kilograms in official and international contexts.
Dalton
The dalton (Da) is a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights, equivalent to one atomic mass unit (amu).
History/Origin
The dalton was named after John Dalton, who developed early atomic theory in the early 19th century. It has been widely used in chemistry and biochemistry to measure atomic and molecular masses.
Current Use
The dalton is commonly used in scientific contexts to specify the mass of atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles, facilitating precise communication in chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology.
