Question

What are the basic units of volume in the metric system?

Answer 1

Hint: There are many units that are used for the volume of any substance like liters, centimeter cube, decimeter cube, meter cube, etc. One of them is used in the metric system while the other can be converted into each other.

Complete answer:
When we calculate any factor of a substance, then a unit is defined as the standard of reference to measure it. So, there is a system that has fixed some units that will define specific properties. The most properties that are used in chemistry are pressure, temperature, volume, etc.
So, volume tells the amount of space occupied in three-dimensional by a substance which is measurable. There are many units that are used for the volume of any substance like liters (L), centimeter cube ($c{{m}^{3}}$), decimeter cube ($d{{m}^{3}}$), meter cube (${{m}^{3}}$), etc.
In the metric unit, the volume of the substance is taken in a meter cube (${{m}^{3}}$), but this is not the most common unit used. The most commonly used unit is liters (L) and this is equal to one cubic decimeter ($d{{m}^{3}}$). These units are mostly used to define the volume of liquids and gases. And mostly the volume of solid is commonly defined in a centimeter cube ($c{{m}^{3}}$).

Note:
The seven main units that are defined for the seven properties are meter for length, kilogram for mass, second for time, ampere for electric current, Kelvin for thermodynamic temperature, a mole for amount of substance, and candela for luminous intensity.
