    For the S.I. System of Units what symbol is used for cd?

    • Meter

    • Candela

    • Mole

    Correct Answer
    A. Candela
    Explanation
    The symbol used for the candela in the S.I. System of Units is "cd". The candela is the base unit for measuring luminous intensity, which is the amount of light emitted in a particular direction. It is used to quantify the brightness of light sources such as light bulbs or lasers. The symbol "cd" is derived from the Latin word "candela," which means "candle."

    For the S.I. System of Units what symbol is used for a mole?

    • Mol

    • Ml

    • Kg

    Correct Answer
    A. Mol
    Explanation
    The symbol used for a mole in the SI System of Units is "mol". This symbol represents the amount of a substance, where one mole is equal to the number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12. The mole is a fundamental unit in chemistry and is used to measure the quantity of atoms, molecules, or ions in a sample. It is essential in chemical calculations and provides a convenient way to express the amount of a substance in a consistent and standardized manner.

    For the S.I. System of Units what measure of units does A represent?

    • Candela

    • Ampere

    • Kilogram

    Correct Answer
    A. Ampere
    Explanation
    The SI System of Units is a metric system used for scientific measurements. It consists of seven base units, one of which is the Ampere. The Ampere is the unit of electric current, measuring the flow of electric charge in a circuit. It is named after the French physicist André-Marie Ampère. Therefore, the correct answer is Ampere.

    For the S.I. System of Units what measure of units does mol represent?

    • Candela

    • Ampere

    • Mole

    Correct Answer
    A. Mole
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Mole". In the SI (International System of Units), the unit "mol" represents the measure of amount of substance. It is used to quantify the number of atoms, molecules, or other particles in a sample. The mole is defined as the amount of a substance that contains as many elementary entities (atoms, molecules, etc.) as there are atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12. It is a fundamental unit in chemistry and is used to calculate the masses and quantities of substances in chemical reactions.

    For the S.I. System of Units what measure of units does s represent?

    • Second

    • Meter

    • Ampere

    Correct Answer
    A. Second
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Second" because in the SI (International System of Units), the unit of time is represented by "s" which stands for second. The second is the base unit for measuring time and is defined as the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom.

    For the S.I. System of Units what measure of units does m represent?

    • Mole

    • Kelvin

    • Meter

    Correct Answer
    A. Meter
    Explanation
    The correct answer is meter. In the SI (International System of Units), the unit of length is represented by the symbol "m". It is used to measure distances, lengths, and heights. The other options, mole and Kelvin, represent the unit for amount of substance and temperature, respectively, which are different measures in the SI system.
