What are Therm and Electron-volt

A therm is a non-SI unit of heat energy, specifically defined as 100,000 British thermal units (BTU). It is commonly used in the heating and energy sectors, particularly in natural gas pricing and usage. The term 'therm' is derived from the Greek word 'thermos,' meaning heat. In scientific contexts, the therm is utilized to quantify large amounts of heat energy, such as the energy content of natural gas. While not widely used in everyday calculations, it plays a significant role in industrial and commercial energy discussions.

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 is a minuscule unit of energy used primarily in the field of atomic and particle physics. The electron-volt is convenient for expressing the energy levels of electrons in atoms, the energy of photons from light, and the energies involved in particle collisions. One eV is equivalent to approximately 1.602 x 10^-19 joules.
