mag·ne·ton (m g n -t n )n. A unit of the magnetic moment of a molecular, atomic, or subatomic particle, especially: a. The Bohr magneton, calculated using the mass and charge of the electron. b. The nuclear magneton, calculated using the mass of the nucleon. |
| magneton (mgn-tn) A unit of the magnetic dipole moment of a molecular, atomic, or subatomic particle.  The Bohr magneton is defined as the magnetic dipole moment of the electron due to its inherent spin angular momentum, and is equal to 9.2741 × 10-24 joules per tesla. Also called Landé factor. The nuclear magneton is defined using the electric charge and rest mass of the proton, and is equal to 5.0508 × 10-27 joules per tesla. |
