What are Electron-volt and Kiloelectron-volt

An electron-volt (eV) is a unit of energy equal to the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by a single electron when it is accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt. It's a minuscule unit of energy commonly used in the fields of atomic and nuclear physics, as well as in chemistry, to describe the energy levels of electrons within atoms or the energy of photons.

A kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy equivalent to one thousand electron-volts. It is a standard unit for measuring energy in the field of particle physics, often used to describe the energy levels of particles, such as electrons and photons, in accelerators or cosmic rays. One keV represents the kinetic energy gained by an electron when it accelerates through an electric potential difference of one thousand volts.
