I'm not a chemist, but it's pretty weird to be measuring energy in eV is it not?
An electron-volt is a very small unit of energy. Since atoms and molecules are also very small, the eV is a common unit of measurement for chemical phenomena described at this scale.
See for example this table of molecular bond dissociation energies, where eV is one of the units offered:
