How many significant figures are in the number 0.001022?

4 sig figs.

Explanation:

Significant Figures Rules:

1. Anything that isn't a zero is a sig fig

2. If a decimal point comes after the ones digit, everything before the decimal is counted as sig fig (i.e 2000. would be 4 sig figs).

3. If we are dealing with small decimals, the zero before and after the decimal (i.e 0.002) is a placeholder and is not counted as sig figs.

4. Any zeros between 2 significant digits is considered in sig figs (i.e 2002 would be 4 sig figs).

We look at 0.001022.

We know that 0.00 are not sig figs and are placeholders.

We know that 1022 are significant digits and figures, and we have 4 of them.

Therefore, we have 4 sig figs.

My answer to the question is 4 significant figures.
