Bohr magneton

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-001404

A fundamental physical constant representing the magnetic dipole moment of an electron, arising from its orbital or spin angular momentum. It serves as the natural unit for expressing magnetic moments at the atomic and subatomic levels. Its value is approximately 9.274 × 10⁻²⁴ joules per tesla.
