That is correct.
When they are between two non-zero digits or if there are after the decimal point. For example, the 0 is not significant in 1340 but it is significant in 1304 or 1340.0
if between two other digits ex: 3009 or ending zeros when there is a decimal ex: 54.300
I'll assume you're asking about zeros. Zeros appearing anywhere between two non-zero digits are significant. In the other two cases they could be, but are not necessarily significant.
No, a leading zero is NEVER a significant digit.
Zeroes to the left of the decimal point are significant if there is a decimal point present. Zeroes between numbers are always significant. Zeroes to the right of the decimal point are always significant. Non-zero numbers except for the last are always significant. The last non-zero number is always insignificant.
True
All digits between the first non-zero digit and the last non-zero digits are significant. Some would argue that trailing 0s are significant since they are an indication of the precision of the number.

Zero is considered a significant digit when it is to the left or the right of the decimal point. It is also a significant digit when it follows a non-zero digit or when it is between two digits.
What is the difference between 6500. and 6500? The first one would be considered to have a terminal decimal. This means that instead of simply writing the number as it is, a decimal is added to the end to represent significant figures (terminal decimals are most commonly used in scientific notation). Therefore, when 6500 would only be considered as to having 2 significant figures, 6500. has 4 significant figures.
It can be.
False, Zeros are only significant digits when there is a primary number such as 1 before the as in 3200, then two zeros are counted but if zeros are before as in 0.032 than the only digits counted are 3 and 2.
Yes. Trailing zeroes after a decimal are considered significant.

Leading zeros and trailing zeros in numbers that don't have a decimal point.
No. 0.0000123 has three significant digits.
Five. Zeros in between significant digits are significant and trailing zeros that are after the decimal are significant.
