First we need to distinguish between "mass" and "weight". Weight is the force exerted by a mass due to the action of gravitational attraction.
The SI unit for mass is the gram.
The SI unit for force is the Newton.
Interesting to note that SI units named after people are shown in Title Case. So a mass of one thousand grams is shown as 1 kg, but a force of one thousand Newtons is shown as 1 kN.

What is the definition for weight in scientific terms?
The weight of an object, denoted by W, is defined as being equal to the force exerted on it by gravity. This force is the product of the mass m of the object and the local gravitational acceleration g. Expressed in a formula: W = mg. In the International System of Units, the unit of measurement for weight is the same as that for force: the newton.
Microgram is use to measure what in themetric system?
