They can be expressed as a product (or ratio) of one or more of the base units, possibly scaled by an appropriate power of exponentiation (see: Buckingham π theorem).
Some are dimensionless, as when the units cancel out in ratios of like quantities.
The SI has special names for 22 of these coherent derived units (for example, hertz, the SI unit of measurement of frequency), but the rest merely reflect their derivation: for example, the square metre (m2), the SI derived unit of area; and the kilogram per cubic metre (kg/m3 or kg⋅m−3), the SI derived unit of density.
The names of SI coherent derived units, when written in full, are always in lowercase.
However, the symbols for units named after persons are written with an uppercase initial letter.
