Final answer:

The hexadecimal number system in digital electronics uses symbols 0-9 and A-F, not just 0 and 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement in the question is False.

The hexadecimal number system uses the symbols 0-9 and A-F to represent numbers. It is a base-16 number system, which means each digit can take on 16 possible values. In digital electronics, we primarily use the binary number system, which is a base-2 system using only the symbols 0 and 1. This is because digital devices work using on/off signals represented by these binary digits.

For example, the binary number 10110 would represent the decimal number 22 in the hexadecimal system as 16+0+4+2=22.
