SI prefixes, also known as a metric prefixes, are names or associated symbols that precedes a unit of measure or its symbol to form decimal multiples or submultiples. SI prefixes are used to reduce the quantity of zeroes in numerical equivalencies.
Femto (f) 10-15 One Quadrillionth
Pico (p) 10-12 One Trillionth
Nano (n) 10-9 One Billionth
Micro (µ) 10-6 One Millionth (greek letter 'mu')
Milli (m) 10-3 One Thousandth
Centi (c) 0.01 One Hundredth
Deci (d) 0.1 One Tenth
one = initial value
deka (dk) = 10 Ten
hecto (h) = 100 Hundred
Kilo (k) 103 One Thousand
Mega (M) 106 One Million
Giga (G) 109 One Billion
Tera (T) 1012 One Trillion
Peta (P) 1015 One Quadrillion

How many times larger is a centigram than a decagram?
These are SI units using standard prefixes. The interpretation of common prefixes is as follows: kilo = 1000 hecto = 100 deca = 10 deci = 0.1 centi = 0.01 milli = 0.001 Therefore, 1 centigram is 0.01 grams and 1 decagram is 10 grams. A decagram is 1000 times larger than a centigram.
How much is 156 cm?
The same as 1.56 meters. The prefix "centi" means 1/100.The same as 1.56 meters. The prefix "centi" means 1/100.The same as 1.56 meters. The prefix "centi" means 1/100.The same as 1.56 meters. The prefix "centi" means 1/100.
How much is 1.5 ml in liters?
Remember K H D | d c m (kilo, hecto, deka, (liter, meter, gram), deci, centi, milli). Milliliters are three places to the right of liters. So you have to move the decimal place three times to the right. You will get 1.5 L = 1,500 mL.
What is different?
The difference between two things is how much one thing is different, or changed, compared to another, or a specific characteristic which has changed between two or more objects.
What are some common metric prefixes used in chemistry?
Some common metric prefixes used in chemistry are milli- (m), centi- (c), kilo- (k), and micro- (µ). These prefixes represent factors of 10^-3, 10^-2, 10^3, and 10^-6, respectively. They are used to indicate different orders of magnitude in measurements.
