What does one hectometer represent in metres?

One hectometer is an SI unit of length equal to 100 metres.

What is the X-unit mainly used for?

The X-unit is a historical unit used in X-ray crystallography and spectroscopy to express wavelengths and interatomic spacings at a very fine scale.

Is the X-unit still used in modern measurements?

No, the X-unit is largely obsolete and only applies to historical or specialized scientific contexts.
