What are Hartree and Kiloton

Definition of Hartree

The Hartree is a unit of energy used in the field of atomic physics, named after physicist Douglas Hartree. It is defined as the kinetic energy of an electron moving in the Bohr orbit of the hydrogen atom. Specifically, one Hartree is equivalent to 4.359744650×10^-18 joules. This unit is used as a natural energy scale in quantum chemistry and physics for atomic-scale energy calculations.

Definition of Kiloton

A kiloton is a unit of energy typically used to express the amount of energy released in the detonation of a nuclear weapon. It is equivalent to the energy released by the explosion of one thousand tons of TNT (trinitrotoluene). In energy terms, one kiloton is equal to 4.184 terajoules (TJ). This unit is also used in non-military contexts, such as in astrophysics and natural disaster descriptions, to convey vast amounts of energy.
