So, I took an exam on conversion of units in chemistry and I put a negative exponent on the bottom:
100s* 1nanoseconds/10^-9s = 10^11 ns,
Is this wrong? If it's possible in math, why not in chemistry? My professor marked all my answers wrong due to this. Is there any way to argue my reasoning? Thanks in advance.

What you've shown here is perfectly correct. Is it possible that you made mistakes in other parts of the problem that gave you the wrong final answer?
If you attach a scanned page from your marked test, we can tell you exactly where any mistake is (or if there is none).
