What are Kilocalorie and Electron-volt

A kilocalorie (th), commonly referred to as a calorie, is a unit of energy defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere. It is frequently used in the field of chemistry and nutrition to quantify the energy produced by food and the energy expended by the human body.

An electron-volt (eV) is a unit of energy that's equal to the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single electron when it accelerates through an electric potential difference of one volt. It's a very small unit of energy commonly used in atomic and nuclear physics, as well as solid state and other areas of physics.

History of Kilocalorie and Electron-volt
