A
unit of
length, 1
ångström (1 Å) equals 10
-10 metres or 0.1
nanometres. It is named after the Swedish physicist
Anders Jonas Ångström. This unit is sometimes used for measuring the diameters of
atoms, which are typically around two to three Å. For a list of objects of size 1 to 10 Å, see
1e-10 m.
This is a non-SI unit, and is therefore considered deprecated. Nanometres or picometres can easily be used instead.
