Small, smaller, smallest Science uses the metric system Each unit differs by 1000x (103) Example: length. (same prefixes for moles, etc.) Millimeter = 1 x 10-3 meter Micrometer = 1 x 10-6 meter Nanometer = 1 x 10-9 meter {Angstrom = 1 x 10-10 meter} Picometer = 1 x 10-12 meter * Not all “sizes” are measured in lengths Molecules are too small to talk about length Units are molecular weight: grams/mol i.e. how much do 6.023 x 1023 molecules weigh? Molecular weight units often = daltons Large molecules: kilodaltons (Kd) = 1000 x dalton Some large molecules Particles measured in Svedbergs Sved
