Well, in the world of chemistry, we often use metric prefixes like milli-, centi-, deci-, kilo-, and mega-. These prefixes help us express different quantities of substances in a simpler way. Just like adding a touch of color to a painting can bring it to life, using these prefixes can make understanding measurements in chemistry much easier and more enjoyable.
The names of the multipliers and sub-multiples have been defined by international agreement, by the Bureau International Poids et Measures. And a list of those so far approved is to be found at [related link "Metric System" below].
Note that for the multiples smaller than 1000, the letter of the multiplier is a lower case letter, whereas for those above, it is a capital letter. Hecta = 100 = h, Deca = 10 = d, Kilo = 1000 = k; Mega = 1000 000 = M, Giga = 1000 000 000 = G.
Sub-multiples are always a lower case letter.
kilo (k): 1000 mega (M): a million giga (G): a billion milli (m): 1/1000 micro (the Greek letter mu, which looks a bit like a "u"): a millionth nano (n): a billionth There are others, too, for example, for larger or smaller numbers.
Yes, there are conversion formulas for metric units. Some common conversions include converting meters to centimeters (1 m = 100 cm), grams to kilograms (1 g = 0.001 kg), and liters to milliliters (1 L = 1000 mL). You can easily find these formulas online or in a physics or chemistry reference book.
There is none but sometimes you may find "myriad".The SI system discourages all prefixes that are not thousand multipliers or dividers. However certain prefixes are so historically entrenched that they will not vanish soon. Some examples of 'unsupported' prefixes are: centimeter (hundredth) decimeter (tenth) decathelon (ten) hectoliter (hundred)
Some common metric system suffixes include: kilo (k) = 10^3 (1000) centi (c) = 10^-2 (0.01) milli (m) = 10^-3 (0.001)
In chemistry, an alcohol is an organic chemical with the basic formula of R-OH. Here are some common alcohols:Methanol - wood alcoholEthanol - the kind people drinkIsopropyl - rubbing alcoholEthyl - another rubbing alcoholEthylene Glycol - used in antifreezeGlycerol - glycerin
Prefixes based on powers of 10 can be used with any SI (metric) unit. Some of the common prefixes are: Deka (10) Hekto (100) deci (1/10) centi (1/100) kilo (1000 Mega (million) milli (1/1000) micro (1/1,000,000)
These are some common metric prefixes: milli: 1/1000 micro: 1/1,000,000 nano: 1/1,000,000,000 pico: 1/1,000,000,000,000 Note that these prefixes are not just used for meters; they can be used with any unit.
Re
Some common prefixes for "grace" include "dis-" (as in disgrace) and "inter-" (as in intergrace).
Some common prefixes that create antonyms are "un-", "dis-", "in-", "im-", "non-", and "a-". Adding these prefixes to words can change their meaning to the opposite.
Some common prefixes for "pare" include "dis-" and "pre-".
kilo (k): 1000 mega (M): a million giga (G): a billion milli (m): 1/1000 micro (the Greek letter mu, which looks a bit like a "u"): a millionth nano (n): a billionth There are others, too, for example, for larger or smaller numbers.

well common prefixes begin with dis so some would be Disadvantages Disappears discontinued etc. I probably have to look in my English book. :)...
Some common prefixes that can be added to "available" are "un" (unavailable) and "un-" (unavailable). Common suffixes that can be added to "available" are "-able" (available) and "-ability" (availability).
