Chemistry

If you go by the decimal there should be 5 significant digits because 0 is a trailing zero and matters since it comes after a decimal. however if you do 

6.3590 x 10 ^7 = 63590000 then you would only have 4 significant digits because there is no longer a decimal to make the zero after the 9, significant. 

Hope this helps!

Answer:

There are 5 significant digits

Explanation:

Significant digits are essentially numbers that contribute directly towards a measurement. There are certain rules to be followed while identifying the number of significant digits in a measurement, these include:

1) Non-zero digits are significant

2) Leading zeros are insignificant

3) Trailing zeros only after a decimal point are significant

4) Zeros in between non-zero digits are significant

The given value is:

6.3590*10⁷

There are 4 non-zero digits + 1 trailing zero after the decimal.

Therefore, significant digits are 4 +  1 = 5

This puts them in the best position to gain the resources that they need to survive, most notably, the sun. The smaller plants, however, do not have this advantage, and lose out to the trees.</span>
