2 points How many significant figures are there in the measurement 2.30 x 10^5
mm ? *
2
3
4.
5

3.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering the given number:

We can see that it does not have zeros to left of the first nonzero digit which is 2, therefore, we just have to consider the 2, 3 and 0 as significant figures because the right-handed zeros are actually considered. Hence, such measurement has 3 significant figures.

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
