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.
