Key Point #1: SIGNIFICANT FIGURES tell us the known digits in a measurement So what did we find – which ruler gave us the most significant figures? (the most known digits?)
Significant Figures • RULE 1: All non-zero numbers are significant. • 315 • 3 sig figs • 542334 • 6 sig figs
RULE #2: Zeros are weird and come in 3 flavors FLAVOR 1: Leading Zeros FLAVOR 2: Captive Zeros FLAVOR 3: Trailing Zeros
RULE #2.1 (Leading Zeros):These precede non-zero digits and don’t count. They are only placeholders. • 0.0023 2 sig figs • 0.02300 4 sig figs
RULE #2.2 (Captive Zeros):These are between nonzero digits. They always count as sig figs. • 1.009 4 sig figs • 230,004 6 sig figs
RULE #2.3 (Trailing Zeros):These are zeros at the right end of the number. They are significant only if the number has a decimal point. • 100 = • 1 sig fig • 100. = • 3 sig figs
