A metric prefix is a unit prefix that precedes a basic unit of measure to indicate a multiple or fraction of the unit. While all metric prefixes in common use today are decadic, historically there have been a number of binary metric prefixes as well.[1] Each prefix has a unique symbol that is prepended to the unit symbol. The prefix kilo-, for example, may be added to gram to indicate multiplication by one thousand: one kilogram is equal to one thousand grams. The prefix milli-, likewise, may be added to metre to indicate division by one thousand; one millimetre is equal to one thousandth of a metre.
Decimal multiplicative prefixes have been a feature of all forms of the metric system with six dating back to the system's introduction in the 1790s. Metric prefixes have even been pre-pended to non-metric units. The SI prefixes are standardized for use in the International System of Units (SI) by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) in resolutions dating from 1960 to 1991.[2] Since 2009, they have formed part of the International System of Quantities.

You have to be Bahamian

[@nazneensaleh]

Torei Bowe i look like i’m from the bahamas?

[@Syrmuslimyouth22]

How did you do? I'm taking this class now?

[@nazneensaleh]

Qalamul Akbar my grade actually turned out to be rlly good in chem i think cuz this was taught in the beginning of the year i just didn’t rlly transition from summer

[@Ariasosaxo]

My proff took 2 lectures to explain and still managed to confuse everyone. Thank you so much.

[@_shouq]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@Pug.]

Professor? You did this in college I’m did this in early freshman year 😮

[@Amada__]

Ty for saving my life
I swear the textbooks just converted and never explained and it looked so simple but I was still so confused and this broke it down perfectly. Thanks!!

[@aphidsfirst]

Thank you so much for posting this. This was one of the first lessons in chemistry, which I was not getting at all until seeing your video, and my teacher continues to give us problems that require conversions and I'm getting them every time. You have saved my grade.

[@melkinz8972]

Holy crap! After going through several TH-cam videos and meeting with my professor to explain the metric system, you by FAR explained it so I can understand. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!

[@Taiyella]

Spending an hour trying to find this video after a year was actually well worth it. Only method that works for me Thank you!

[@mlenny16]

My teacher taught us this topic awhile ago and I was left dumbfounded. Finally I get it and I'm just so happy I found this video!! Thank you so much!!

[@calebpowell2745]

yes my teacher does well explaining i just needed this video for a refresh

[@nandinigupta3577]

[@wackyweirdochic]

Wow, of all the times I've encountered SI Conversions and repeatedly failed to understand the topic, you broke it down the best for me to finally understand it once and for all! Thanks so much!

[@ms-fi2cg]

Wow, out of the 20 videos regarding metric conversion your method is the one I'm going with, took me 2-3 tries but I got it now no problem, thank you!

[@CrashChemistryAcademy]

Great! Thanks for watching!

[@elcamino8720]

I've seen too many "methods" and "explanations" for prefix conversion. Thanks so much for posting. This makes sense!

[@firstsinpride8807]

wish my teacher made videos like this for people who forgot the subject entirely. Nobody asks questions and I'm sure its because they are to shy. anyways thanks for making this video it helps lots.

[@vjay10]

thank for this!!! finally someone who clearly explains and visualizes that a prefix can be attached to any base (gram/ meter)!!

[@bbycatto4508]

thank you so much for the video!!!! this is the best method i've come up across in converting si units and i'm very sure it's going to benefit me well, thanks a whole lot!

[@philoadriensson9850]

GREAT! Thanks so much! Best method I've seen.

[@nicolefleming7641]

This helped me understand this concept so much! Thank you for the video!

[@Yadiel458x]

Thanks!! I spend one hour searching for a good explanation video!! and I can say that this is the best explanation

[@AyoDV-]

This is so much easier than the 2 step conversion my professor is teaching us. Thank you!

[@whirrrl3349]

Awesome. Your method works beautifully. Far far far beyond what I was taught. Thank you so much!

[@yadiraromerodiaz6268]

Thank you soo much for this video! currently studying for a final and this video just might have saved my grade :D

[@angelinahargrove7223]

Thank you so much! Greatly appreciated! This was explained so well and I now feel confident walking into my test in a couple of days! Keep up the great work😁

[@CrashChemistryAcademy]

Thank you!

[@lumpyppp]

luv yer vids!! This is great, clear, to the point, easy to use.

[@meldaaveja1638]

This video really helped me with understanding how to go from unit to next. Thank you so much.

[@lumen3521]

out of almost 5 vids I watch, this is the only one I understand, I spent 3 hours with the other vids and all it took for me to understand this from his vid is 10minutes..... thank you so much

[@nadinelucas7788]

Brilliant! Thank you for this clear explanation. I never thought of it this way before. I have just accepted the 10 to the power as given. Now it all make sense!

[@CrashChemistryAcademy]

Thanks!

[@sk8terbluetoo]

Another good one! Thanks for posting!

[@allisongrimsted3372]

5 years after taking your class and your videos are still very helpful! Thanks, DW!!

[@mayagoudeseune2907]

I never write comments, but this just saved my butt! Thanks so much!

[@aditichoudhary4722]

best method ever..

[@suelyblack]

Thank you for your videos. They are clear and accurate. A suggestion for the conversion between modified metric units: instead of subtracting and adding the powers, it is easier just to "plug them in" on the opposite sides like 10^-3 nm / 10^-9 mm . Then you can execute the calculations. Students should know to use the power on the "opposite" side of the prefix, like in 1nm/10^-9m, so it would be easier just to tell them to use the powers on the opposite side when going from prefix to prefix.

[@joelweiner4156]

Thanks for the suggestion! That seems like a straightforward method once the reversing of the powers is mastered, but that makes me uneasy. I feel that could be an obstacle with many students, especially given that reversing the powers eliminates the "number sense" of relating the two units, which makes your method rote. Perhaps it depends on the math level of the student and their own "number sense." Definitely food for thought.

[@TshepisoPromise-jj5lf]

Helpeddddddd alot❤,thank you

[@panagiotistsivikas7628]

I cannot thank you enough my chem professor could not explain this to me for shit and you just saved my mind from endless hours of frustration THANK YOU

[@sozag836]

theabomination _
then i would appreciate it if you know how to convert from nm to m? I followed his same steps but my final answer was different from my teacher's. For example: change from 10nm to m

[@ronaldbarrett1506]

Good article. Thanks

[@beinghamzark]

Excellent Method Dear
Love you
Stay Blessed

[@CrashChemistryAcademy]

Thanks very much!

[@akashshete1695]

Thanks a lot sir again.

[@diabloa.1700]

Been struggling with converting for way too long u probably wont read this but i really appreciate your help

[@CrashChemistryAcademy]

I read it, and thanks, happy to help!

[@themillennialpa]

did you have a tutorial on how to rules of the exponents? This is why I kept getting the answer wrong, I didn't know you had to add the exponents. I thought I could just times it by the 10 to whatever.

[@krishamaecagande5790]

i love you!😭😭😭♥️thank u very much!

[@dprpmmst1]

TOTAL LIFE SAVER
