Didrachma (Biblical Greek)

The didrachma was an ancient Greek silver coin used during Biblical times, valued at two drachmas (the name means “two drachmas”). It was half the value of the more common tetradrachma.

The didrachma was widely circulated for trade and everyday transactions in Greek and Biblical regions. It typically weighed around 8.5 grams of silver.

This coin played an important role in the economy of the ancient Mediterranean world, appearing in historical and Biblical accounts.

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.
