What are Pound and Proton Mass

Definition of Pound

A pound is a unit of mass or weight primarily used in the United States and other systems of measurement. It is legally defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms. The pound is commonly abbreviated as 'lb' and is part of the imperial system of units. It is commonly used to measure the weight of objects, and in everyday contexts, such as body weight and food items.

Definition of Proton Mass

Proton mass, often denoted by 'u' for atomic mass unit, is a standard unit of mass that quantifies the mass of a proton. Precisely, one proton mass equals 1.6726219 x 10^-27 kilograms. This unit is fundamental in chemistry and physics to express atomic and molecular masses, as it is a convenient way to express the mass of atoms and subatomic particles on a scale appropriate for their size.
