The number 345,000 has 3 significant figures because the trailing zeros are not significant since there's no decimal point.
<h3>What is significant figures?</h3>
Significant figures of a number in positional notation are digits in the number that are reliable and necessary to indicate the quantity of something.
Also significant figures can be defined as, the number of digits in a value, often a measurement, that contribute to the degree of accuracy of the value.
Examples of significant figures;
- 405 = 3 significant figures
- 405000 = 3 significant
- 0.040500 = 5 significant figures
<u>Note:</u> leading zeros are not significant but trailing zeros, which are zeros at the end of a number, are significant only if the number has a decimal point.
345,000 = 3.45 x 10⁵ (3 significant figures)
Thus, the number 345,000 has 3 significant figures because the trailing zeros are not significant since there's no decimal point.

Answer:
Sorry I am not very good at chemistry.
Explanation:
Do elements in a group on the periodic table have similar chemical properties because their atoms have the same number of electrons
A. same number of outermost electrons
B) Ag because it’s in the middle of the periodic table.
This for metal......the farther to the left the more reactive they are. Group 1 metals, which include sodium and potassium, are so highly reactive that they do not exist in nature by themselves
Thats non metals..........the farther to the right the more reactive they are *with the exception of group 18* which are the noble gases and do not react at all. The most reactive are group 17, which include fluorine and chlorine. These non-metals, like group 1, rarely exist by themselves because of their high reactivity.
