eVElectronvolt
The electronvolt equals 1.602 ร 10โปยนโน joules โ the energy gained by an electron accelerated through 1 volt. It is the natural energy unit of atomic, nuclear and particle physics. Chemical bonds are a few eV; LHC protons reach 7 TeV = 7 ร 10ยนยฒ eV.
Real-world: Silicon band gap: 1.12 eV. Hydrogen ionization: 13.6 eV. LHC proton: 7 TeV. Photon wavelength 500 nm = 2.5 eV.
