Ångström


An ångström (symbol: Å) is a unit of length commonly used in physics, chemistry, and biology to measure very small distances, such as atomic and molecular scales. It is equal to 10⁻¹⁰ meters, or 0.1 nanometers (nm).


The unit is named after the Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström, who made significant contributions to spectroscopy.


Key facts:



  • 1 ångström = 10⁻¹⁰ meters = 0.1 nanometers



  • Used to measure atomic and molecular sizes, wavelengths of light, and crystal lattice constants



  • Common in fields like crystallography, chemistry, and materials science



Though largely replaced by the nanometer in the SI system, the ångström remains widely used in scientific literature to describe very small lengths.




Arpent


An arpent is a traditional unit of length and area used primarily in French-speaking regions, especially in parts of Canada (like Quebec) and Louisiana in the United States. It originated in France and was commonly used in land measurement and agriculture.



  • As a length, one arpent is approximately 192 feet (about 58.47 meters), though it varies regionally.



  • As an area, an arpent is roughly equal to 0.84 acres or about 3,400 square meters.



The arpent was important for defining land parcels during French colonial times and is still referenced in legal land descriptions in some areas today.


Summary:



  • Length: ~192 feet (58.47 meters)



  • Area: ~0.84 acres (3,400 m²)



  • Used historically in French-influenced regions for land measurement



  • Still appears in land records and legal contexts in parts of North America
