Units of Measurement
Basically there are SI 7 base units in measuring which are used all over are usually based on 10 so it is easier to change from one to another. SI prefixes are placed in front of base units which allows it to show the amounts that are larger or smaller *Remember measurements are written in decimals not fractions
Examples:
There are a lot of prefixes in chemistry that need to be learned such as..
Giga G 1,000,000,000
Mega M 1,000,000
Kilo k 1,000
Hecto h 100
Deca da 10
Base (g,m,l,sec) 1
Deci d .1
Centi c .01
Mili m .001
Micro u .000001
Nano n .000000001
These are metric conversions using fencing
Examples:
- Quantity Unit Name Unit Abbreviation
- Length Meter M
- Mass Kilogram Kg
- Time Second S or sec
- Temperature Kelvin K
- Amount of Substance Mole Mol
- Electric Current Ampere A
- Luminous Intensity Candela cd
