Electron-volts
An electron-volt (eV) is used in the fields of atomic and particle physics. It is the amount of energy gained or lost by a single electron when it is accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt.
Kilojoules
A kilojoule (kJ) is equivalent to one thousand joules (J). It is the energy required when a force of one thousand newtons is applied over a distance of one meter, or one newton applied over a kilometer. In reality, a joule is roughly the energy required to lift a small apple one meter against Earth's gravity.
