The prefixes kilo represents 1000, deci represents 1/10, centi represents 1/100, milli represents 1/1000, micro represents 1/1,000,000, and nano represents 1/1,000,000,000. These prefixes are used to scale units of measurement in the metric system.

How do the prefixes in the metric system?

In the metric systems, unlike other systems, there is only one unit for each measurement; e.g the only unit for length is the metre. For lengths much longer, or shorter, lengths we use prefixes to indicate the fraction or multiple of the metre. For short lengths the fractions are thousandths, millionths, billionths; for which the prefixes are milli-, micro-, and nano-. For longer lengths, the multiples are thousands, millions, and billions; for which the prefixes are kilo-, mega-, and giga-. The prefixes indicate the fraction,or the multiple of the base unit.


Are prefixes not considered when writing formulas for molecular componds?

Yes, prefixes are not considered when writing formulas for molecular compounds. The subscripts in a molecular formula represent the ratio of atoms in the compound without taking into account any prefixes used to indicate the number of each element.
