It's over an element, and I have to research its uses and other topics that do not pertain to the element's chemical or physical properties or appearances. Help?
How do I start a Research paper for Chemistry?
I'd start like any other research paper. Open with an introductory paragraph...describe the element, list it's atomic number and weight, give the properties it has. While this has nothing to do with it's uses, this information gives the reader a base to start from. When writing any paper, but especially a scientific paper, you must assume the reader has no knowledge of the subject, and so you must explain everything and anything about said subject.
After your introduction, start with whatever information you actually need. If you need to find more, I DO NOT suggest wikipedia. That site, while entertaining, and sometimes informational, is edited by users, and you cannot be sure if the accuracy of the information. For an element, try searching scientific journals, or University chemistry websites. These are going to be the most up-to-date and accurate sources.
Good luck!
Reply:type it into yahoo search or wikipedia, you will get a buttload of results for it's uses unless it's something really rare
