948 or 9.48 x 10^2

There are two sets of rules for significant figures

• One set for addition and subtraction

• Another set for multiplication and division

You used the set for multiplication and division.

This problem involves addition and subtraction, and the rule is

The number of places after the decimal point in the answer must be <em>no greater than the number of decimal places in every term</em> in the sum.

Thus, we have

78.9

+890.43

-21.

= 948.33

The "21" term has the fewest digits after the decimal point (none), so the answer must have no digits after the decimal point.

To the correct answer is 948 = 9.48 x 10^2. It has three significant figures.

true or false, Valence bond theory states that a bond between two atoms is the strongest when the nuclei of the atoms are touchi
pentagon [3]

Valence bond theory stating that a bond between two atoms is the strongest when the nuclei of the atoms are touching each other is true.

<h3>What is Valence bond theory?</h3>

This theory states that when two valence orbitals of two different atoms overlap on each other, the bond is usually strong.

The bond formed in this scenario is usually covalent which involves sharing of the valence electrons.
