A metric cup (250 ml, used in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and many Indian recipes) holds about 6% more than a US cup.
Whole and chopped nuts sit loosely, so a cup of chopped nuts weighs less than a cup of ground nuts. Dried fruit is loosely packed.
Mini chips pack a little more tightly (177 g per cup).
Weights are for a level US cup (236.6 ml) and level spoons, from King Arthur Baking's ingredient weight chart. Brands and packing vary by a few per cent; when a recipe gives grams, weigh rather than measure.
1 level US cup of chocolate chips weighs about 170 g (6 oz). A 250 ml metric cup weighs about 180 g.
1 level tablespoon of chocolate chips is about 11 g, and 1 teaspoon is about 3.5 g.
100 g of chocolate chips is about 0.59 cups, or 9.4 tablespoons.
A cup measures volume, not weight. Chocolate Chips is full of air between the particles, so a cup weighs much less than a cup of water (170 g vs 237 g).
