Need some help here!

Hmm.... did it occur to you that I did? That maybe, my text book tells me almost NOTHING about my element. I got everything else down, Family Name, Names of Family Members, Period, USes for Element, Type of Element.... etc.

I just COULD not find that one thing.

Turn your book to the first pages and look for "Table of Contents."

From there toward the end you'll typically find something called the "Index."  It will list a page number.

Go there.  We'll wait.










In alphabetical order you'll find some letters grouped together in words.  Find "N".  Look at Normal Phase.  Go to the page it tells you to go to and look for the bold word.  It's very likely it's in Chapter 1 or some other early chapter that you glazed over in a half hearted attempt at learning.

Nothing... like I said before... it isn't there.

I even double checked in the section where I thought it would be in, not there either. I've got it down from here though.

Repeat after me- "Would you like fries with that?"

What's the ISBN of your book?

[hubsonfire]

What's an ISBM??? It's not on wiki???

[1pLUs44]

ISBN?I have no clue what it is, but that is, I'm using one given to me by the high-school... "Modern Chemistry: Holt, Rinehart, and Winston"

Get off the internet and read your books, kid. Wow.

[AKHog]

You do know wiki is authored by anyone who takes the time to write something, and by no means is accurate, right?

I not only guarantee these terms are in your text book, I would bet that your professor lectured about them. Not very often do teachers/professors ask you to write about stuff that has not been covered in class, or at least has some mention in the required reading.

I doubt your going to get a lot of help asking these types of questions online either, mostly because the people who know the answers studied hard by READING THEIR TEXT BOOKS to learn them.

ISBN is the "International Standard Book Number."  Your textbook has one.  What is it?

[AKHog]

by the high-school...

Ahh now I understand. My kid sister writes book reports using wiki too, must be a high school thing.

You are going to have a rude awakening in college, assuming you go.

And you couldn't find your answer using any of those websites?

Its the first damn result if you google it!

[1pLUs44]

did you read what the websites said? It went into almost NO detail at all. I got all of my other information off of those, I couldn't find jack when it came to any use except "sometimes, it's used for anvils" and almost nothing else. Every one also said it was used for making platinum...

The websites you listed suck.

WHY DON'T YOU GET OFF THE NET AND READ YOUR TEXT BOOK???
