In this image there is a code written as 224K, 683K etc on each of the capacitors. what does this mean? is it something of the sort uf or pf?

0.22 µF
220000 µµF
220 nano Farad
224K

That is how it works out.

The way I read these is:

224K = 22*10^4 = 220,000pF = 220nF = 0.22uF

683K = 68*10^3 = 68,000pF = 68nF

105K = 10*10^5 = 1,000,000pF = 1uF
