Five. The measurement 50,600 mg has five significant digits.

I presume that you are using the comma as a decimal separator.

The <em>rules for significant figures</em> are
1. Nonzero digits are always significant.
2. Any zeros between two significant digits are significant.
3. Final or trailing zeros are significant only if they are to the right of a decimal point.

• According to Rule 1, the <em>5 and 6</em> are significant.
• According to Rule 2, the <em>0 between the 5 and 6</em> is significant
• According to Rule 3, the <em>final two zeros</em> are significant.

Thus, there are five significant digits in the measurement 50,600 mg.

Note: If the comma is a thousands separator, the number has only three significant digits.

Answer:

5.

Explanation:

Significant figures may be defined as the numbers of the digit that can carry to contribute the meaning of the exact measurement resolution. Significant figures follows some specific scientific rules.

All non zero digits are significant figures. The zeros that are present between the non zero digits are significant figures. The zeros that are present after the significant figures are considered as significant. Here, 5 significant figures are 5,0,6,0 and 0. Hence, the total significant figures are 5.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

What is the kinetic evidence for SN1 reaction
inn [45]

Answer:

In doubling the concentration of the alkyl halide, the reaction rate also increases two-fold. However, doubling the concentration of the nucleophile does not in any way alter the reaction rate. Thus, the reaction rate is proportional only to the alkyl halide's concentration.

True or false the si in sih4 does not follow the octet rule because hydrogen is in an unusual oxidation stat
ExtremeBDS [4]
The statement is true. The octet rule refers to the general rule of thumb wherein atoms of main-group elements tend to bond with other atoms in such a way that each atom possesses eight electrons (octet) in their valence shell. They tend to form the same electronic configuration as the noble gases. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. One of which is silane, SiH₄. A hydrogen atom only has 1 valence electron and needs another electron to complete its energy level. This is unlike other atoms, for example, carbon which has 4 valence electrons and needs to form 4 covalent bonds to fill its energy levels. Thus, 4 hydrogen atoms need only 4 more electrons. This is given by the silicon atom which has 4 valence electrons. Therefore, when a silicon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms, the resulting molecule, SiH₄, is a stable one.

Last question<br> help<br> im confusion
Andrej [43]

Remark

The given thing on the right is a positron. The mass for these subatomic particles is considered to be 0. It's atomic number is 1 which means it is a blood relative of a proton.

So essentially what happens is that X is one space to the left on the periodic table. But let's solve this a little bit more formally.

Solution

_{65}^{147}\text{Tb}\longrightarrow _{z}^{y}\text{x} +_{1}^{0}{e}

y stays the same at 147. It is z that changes.

65 = z + 1     Subtract 1 from both sides.

64 = z

So the chemical with 64 as its position on the periodic table is
