Q

rules for sig figs

A

1) all nonzero integers ALWAYS count for significance ex: 3456 has 4 sig figs
2) zeros (3 classes of zeros)
a) leading zeros:NEVER count as sig figs
ex: 0.048 has 2 sig figs
b) captive zeros: ALWAYS count as sig figs ex: 16.07 has 4 sig figs
c) trailing zeros: only significant when # HAS A DECIMAL POINT
ex: 9.300 has 4 sig figs; 0.004020 has 4 sig figs; 150 has 2 sig figs
