Gigagram [Gg]

The gigagram is a metric unit of mass representing large quantities.

• 
  

  1 gigagram = 10⁹ grams

  
  
• 
  

  1 gigagram = 1,000,000 kilograms (1 million kilograms)

  
  
• 
  

  Symbol: Gg

  
  

Key Facts:

• 
  

  Used to measure large masses in environmental studies, agriculture, and industry

  
  
• 
  

  Part of the SI system, where the prefix "giga-" means $10^{9}$

  
  
• 
  

  Convenient for expressing quantities larger than tonnes but smaller than teragrams

  
  

The gigagram is useful for quantifying sizable amounts of material in scientific and commercial contexts.

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.
