Milli (symbol m) is a unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of one thousandth (10 −3). [1] Proposed in 1793, [2] and adopted in 1795, the prefix comes from the Latin mille, meaning one thousand (the Latin plural is milia). Since 1960, the prefix is part of the International System of Units (SI).

For example, from Fe 2+ + 2 e − ⇌ Fe(s) (–0.44 V), the energy to form one neutral atom of Fe(s) from one Fe 2+ ion and two electrons is 2 × 0.44 eV = 0.88 eV, or 84 907 J/(mol e −). That value is also the standard formation energy (∆ G f °) for an Fe 2+ ion, since e − and Fe( s ) both have zero formation energy.

In the cases where non-SI units are used, the numerical calculation of a formula can be done by first working out the factor, and then plug in the numerical values of the given/known quantities. For example, in the study of Bose–Einstein condensate , [ 6 ] atomic mass m is usually given in daltons , instead of kilograms , and chemical ...
For example, 5 km is treated as 5000 m, which allows all quantities based on the same unit to be factored together even if they have different prefixes. A prefix symbol attached to a unit symbol is included when the unit is raised to a power. For example, 1 km 2 denotes 1 km × 1 km = 10 6 m 2, not 10 3 m 2.
The prefixes myria-, [2] [3] [4] (from the Greek μύριοι, mýrioi), double-and demi-, denoting factors of 10 000, 2 and 1 ⁄ 2 respectively, [5] were parts of the original metric system adopted in France in 1795, but they were not retained when the SI prefixes were agreed internationally by the 11th CGPM conference in 1960.
Historically, the mole was defined as the amount of substance in 12 grams of the carbon-12 isotope.As a consequence, the mass of one mole of a chemical compound, in grams, is numerically equal (for all practical purposes) to the mass of one molecule or formula unit of the compound, in daltons, and the molar mass of an isotope in grams per mole is approximately equal to the mass number ...
