    • 0s between 2 other significant digits are significant
    • 0s used solely for spacing the sec are not significant
  15. significant digits rule in chemistry
    every math prob will have an answer in 3 significant digits
  16. when a number has five or more places....
    use scientific notation
  17. accuracy
    how close a measurement is to its actual exact value

    how close a set of measurements are to each other
  19. % error
    copoares your experimental value to a known value
  20. % error equation
    |your value-known value|/known value x 100
  21. qualitive measures
    when you describe an object without using meausrements
  22. quantitive measures
    when you sescribe an object using measurements
  23. temperature
    • the measurements of the average kinetic energy of particles in an object
    • the higher the kinetic energy, the higher the temp.
  24. heating
