Why does 5060 have three significant figures?

Explanation:

Significant figures

The significant figures (also known as the significant digits and decimal places) of a number are digits that possess certain  meaning .

It  includes all digits except: zeros

Rules to find significant figures

1.All non-zero digits are considered significant. For example, 23  has two significant figures.

2.Zeros in between two non-zero digits are significant: like in 202.1201  has seven significant figures.

3.Zeros to the left of the significant figures are not significant. For example, .000021 has two significant figures, zeros have no value .

4.Zeros to the right of the significant figures are significant.

That is the reason in number 5060 , it has 3 significant figures .

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
