Rutherford (unit) unit for activity, the rutherford became obsolete, and it is no longer commonly used. The following table shows radiation quantities in SI and non-SI units: Rutherford (unit) The rutherford (symbol Rd) is a non-SI unit of radioactive decay. It is defined as the activity of a quantity of radioactive material in which one million nuclei decay per second. It is therefore equivalent to one megabecquerel, and one becquerel equals one microrutherford. One rutherford is equivalent to 2.703 × 10 curie. The unit was introduced in 1946. It was named after British/New Zealand physicist and Nobel laureate Lord Ernest Rutherford (Nobel
Mole (unit) Mole (unit) The mole is the unit of measurement for amount of substance in the International System of Units (SI). Effective 20 May 2019, the mole is defined as the amount of a chemical substance that contains exactly (Avogadro's constant) constitutive particles, e.g., atoms, molecules, ions or electrons. This definition was adopted in November of 2018, revising its old definition based on the number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12 (C) (the isotope of carbon with standard atomic weight 12 by definition). The mole is an SI base unit, with the unit symbol mol. The mole is widely used
