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.
No. 0.0000123 has three significant digits.
11.0 (one decimal and 3 significant figures)
another way to write 0.943 in decimal = 0.9430
The answer depends on the number of decimal places or the number of significant digits to which you wish to round the number.

True
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
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.
if between two other digits ex: 3009 or ending zeros when there is a decimal ex: 54.300
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.
