<strong>Significant</strong> Zeros A simple way to think about zeros is this: If zeros appear or disappear when you change the units or put a number in scientific notation, they were not significant figures. Ex: 6 m has 1 sig fig. 6 m = 6000 mm: still 1 sig fig. 0.005 s has 1 sig fig. 5 x 10 -3 s has 1 sig fig.
Scientific Notation A word about scientific notation, numbers in exponential form. We use them frequently in chemistry, because we often have to deal with very large or very small numbers. And all those zeros get to be a pain.
