Deuteron Mass

The deuteron is the nucleus of deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen, consisting of one proton and one neutron bound together.

Its rest mass is approximately 3.344 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms (about 1875.6 MeV/c²).

The deuteron plays a key role in nuclear physics and fusion reactions.

Summary:

• 
  

  Rest mass ≈ 3.344 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

  
  
• 
  

  Equivalent to about 1875.6 MeV/c²

  
  
• 
  

  Nucleus of deuterium (1 proton + 1 neutron)

Dalton (Da)

The dalton, symbolized as Da, is a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular masses.

• 
  

  It is equivalent to the unified atomic mass unit (u).

  
  
• 
  

  1 dalton = 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom ≈ 1.66054 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms

  
  
• 
  

  Commonly used in chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology to measure the mass of atoms, molecules, and proteins.

  
  

Key Facts:

• 
  

  1 Da ≈ mass of one nucleon (proton or neutron)

  
  
• 
  

  Used to describe molecular weights (e.g., a protein might be 50,000 Da)

  
  
• 
  

  Helps standardize measurements on atomic and molecular scales

  
  

The dalton provides a convenient, standardized scale for describing the masses of tiny particles in science.
