Sometimes it is not convenient to write a number in standard notation (the notation used to write numbers, Ex. 1,520,000; 0.00052 etc.) especially when the numbers are very large or very small numbers with many decimal places or zeros. You can rewrite a very large and very small number in a more convenient way called scientific notation.
Scientific notation must follow specific rules to be in proper scientific notation.
Scientific notation expresses a number in standard notation as the product of two factors , where the 1st factor is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10 and the 2nd factor is always a base of 10 raised to the power of an exponent.

SCIENTIFIC number when converted to standard will be GREATER than 1.
SCIENTIFIC number when converted to standard will be LESS than 1.
STANDARD NUMBERS which will have a POSITIVE Exponent when converted to Scientific.
STANDARD NUMBERS which will have a NEGATIVE Exponent when converted to Scientific.
The exponent in the 2nd factor of scientific notation indicates how many zeros to add to the 1st factor.
CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING
The 1st factor in scientific notation must be written PROPERLY.
1) ONLY 1 digit before the decimal, which cannot be 0.
2) No Leading 0 or trailing zeros.
3) Single digits numbers do not require a trailing 0. (Example 3)
4) 2nd factor in scientific notation must ALWAYS be a base of 10.
Select ALL the values written in proper scientific notation.
