Updated On: Aug 1, 2022
- depends on the method of measurement
- does not depend on the method or measurement
- is more in SI system than in CGS system
- directly proportional to fundamental unit of mass. length and time
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia

Uncertainty in Measurement
- Atoms and molecules consist of very low mass. But they are present in huge numbers.
- Chemists have to deal with numbers as large as 602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000, which is the number of molecules of 2g of hydrogen.
- There are even other constants like the speed of light, charges on particles, Avogadro’s number and etc.
- To handle these large or small numbers, we use the following notation: m × 10n, which is, m times ten raised to the power of n. In this expression, n is an exponent having positive and negative values and m is that number that varies from 1.000… and 9.999…
- The scientific notation 573.672 can be written as 5.73672 × 102 and in the same way, 0.000089 can also be written as 8.9 × 10-5.
- All of these help us to attain easier handling, better precision, and accuracy while performing operations on numbers with high magnitudes.
