Answer:

Explanation:

In multiplication: the least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

3.6 has two significant figures, therefore, the number of significant figures is 2

Scientific notation: 1.5 x 10

#1: Multiply

3.6 x 4.27 = 15.372

#2: Round to 2 significant figures

Answer is 15.

3.6*4.27 = 15.372

There are two significant digits because the lowest amount given in the question is 3.6 which has two significant digits. We follow that with our answer, giving us 15.

The atomic number,atomic mass,valence electrons and the formula for calculating the number of neutrons is also given.The following table has been completed below in the attachment.

Explanation:

Atomic Number:the number of protons /electrons present in the nucleus of an atom is called the atomic number.

Mass Number/Atomic Mass:the number of protons and neutrons present in a nucleus

Example: $C_{6} ^{12}$ ;here;6 implies the atomic number and 12 implies the mass number/atomic mass

No.of neutrons=Mass number-Number of protons

Valence electrons:the number of electrons present in the outer most shell of an atom are called valence electrons

Example:If we consider a carbon atom;as its electronic configuration is2,4 and it belongs to 4th group.Therefore the number of valency electrons in carbon is 4.
