Just discovered Free mindmapping software (Stereochemistry)

This is so cool.  I have just discovered mind mapping free software.  I made this map in Edraw mindmap (freeware).  I think the mind maps are much more interesting to look at and study from than a list of definitions!!
On my previous post I used bubbl.us which allows 3 free mindmaps before you have to pay for your account.   The bubbl.us seems slightly easier to control but has less options for shapes, arrows etc.
I used the free MarvinSketch software to draw the chemical drawing.

Significant Figures

Hopefully you can zoom into the image.
Rules
1.  Zeros at the beginning of a number are never significant.
2.  Zeros at the end are only significant if there is a decimal place.   300 (1SF), 300. (3SF), 300.0 (4SF)
3.  Zeros in the middle are always significant.

When adding or subtracting, the answer can have no more decimal places than the measurement with the fewest number of decimal places.

When multiplying or dividing, the answer must be given with the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the fewest significant figures.
