  <\/span>Abstract<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n
  A\u00a0quality abstract\u00a0distinctly identifies the objective of the experiment and the key\u00a0outcomes.<\/p>\n
  Things to Avoid<\/p>\n
  - Vague statements\u00a0such as\u00a0\u201c\u2026a metal complex was prepared, and the percent yield was calculated.<\/em>\u201d\n

    Instead use, \u201c\u2026hexaammine cobalt (III) chloride was prepared from cobalt (II), chloride, and hydrogen peroxide. The yield was 8.45 g.<\/em>\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Tip 1 <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
    When writing a full report, write the Abstract last.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
    <\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n
    Go step-wise!<\/p>\n
    \n
    Begin by describing the larger area of the research<\/li>\n
    Give examples of advancement in the field<\/li>\n
    A distinct statement of the research problem<\/li>\n
    Approach being addressed in the current report<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Examples<\/p>\n
    Avoid:<\/strong>\u00a0This experiment intends to investigate upon any measurable amounts of Nickel in the surrounding mud area and within barnacles living on the pilings.<\/em><\/p>\n
    Use:\u00a0<\/strong>The purpose of this study is to determine the nickel content in the surrounding mud area and in the barnacles living on the pilings.<\/em><\/p>\n
    <\/span>Methods and Materials<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n
    Include a description of your experimental procedure and the names of instruments used.\u00a0Do not rewrite the lab manual or protocol.<\/p>\n
    Examples<\/p>\n
    Avoid:\u00a0<\/strong>Next, prepare copper solution. Weigh 0.1821 g of copper nitrate and dilute it in 10 mL of tap water.<\/em><\/p>\n
    Use:\u00a0<\/strong>A solution was prepared by dissolving copper nitrate (0.1821 g) in tap water (10 mL).<\/em><\/p>\n
    Further subdivide into<\/p>\n
    \n
    Materials\u2014sources and purity of reagents used<\/li>\n
    Preparation of compounds\u2014with the procedure and summary of characterization by NMR, IR, etc.<\/li>\n
    Instrumentation\u2014manufacturer, description of any adaptation, or sample preparation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Tip 2<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
    A quality Materials and Methods section should allow the reader to holistically reproduce what you did in the lab, using what you have written.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
    <\/span>Outcomes<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n
    Include an outline of your raw data, preferably aided by tables and figures, and main observations.<\/p>\n
    Tip 3<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
    Don\u2019t include lengthy tables of raw data; instead, simply present the outcomes of your calculations.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
    Avoid:\u00a0<\/strong>The following standard concentrations were used to follow X law for the absorbances at the corresponding wavelength (Table).<\/em><\/p>\n
    Use:<\/strong>\u00a0The standard concentrations were measured at the corresponding wavelengths and the data provided in Table 1.<\/em><\/p>\n
    <\/span>Figures, Tables, Equations<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n
    Explain the objective of each figure, scheme, equation, and table in the Results section.\u00a0When referring to a figure, table, or equation, use its number in the text.<\/p>\n
    Examples<\/p>\n
    A plateau was observed at reduced pressures >0.1, as indicated in Table 1.<\/em><\/p>\n
    Indicate every figure, table, and equation with a number.\u00a0Figures and tables need a number and a descriptive title, and equations usually have a number placed in parentheses at the right margin.<\/p>\n
    Examples<\/p>\n
    Figure 1. Mass Uptake vs. Reduced Pressure for A<\/p>\n
    Table 1. Powder Diffraction Data Obtained for A<\/p>\n
    A = B^{2<\/sup>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 (1)<\/p>\n}
    Tip 4<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
    \u201cFigure\u201d is much preferred compared to the labels \u201cchart\u201d and \u201cgraph.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
    <\/span>Discussion<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
    Analyze your outcomes<\/li>\n
    Comment on the objective of the experiment<\/li>\n
    Explain what the outcomes point to<\/li>\n
    What are the sources of inaccuracy (experimental uncertainty\/precision) and limitations?<\/li>\n
    What further experiments could help address any open questions or loose ends?<\/li>\n
    Do the outcomes agree with what others have discovered?<\/li>\n
    Do the outcomes endorse a model or hypothesis?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Examples<\/p>\n
    Avoid:\u00a0<\/strong>If, for example, we could have used a red and green apple to determine the components, we could have averaged the data and obtained more accurate results.<\/em><\/p>\n
    Use:<\/strong>\u00a0For example, if data were obtained from both a red and a green apple, the averaged results could provide more representative values.<\/em><\/p>\n
    <\/span>Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n
    Summarize your\u00a0outcomes and discussion\u00a0with a concise\u00a0conclusion, phrasing it in terms of the broad-ranging questions addressed in the\u00a0Introduction. A notable feature of Trinka<\/a> is the ability to present academic writing concisely.<\/p>\n
    Tip 5<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
    When testing a hypothesis, you may want to say that the hypothesis was \u201cproved<\/em>\u201d or \u201cdisproved<\/em>\u201d or was \u201ccorrect<\/em>\u201d or \u201cincorrect<\/em>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
    Remember, you are testing a theory with a procedure that lasts only a handful of hours and depends on only a few trials, which seriously compromises your ability to be certain about the \u201ctruth\u201d you see.<\/p>\n
    Consequently, words such as \u201csupported,\u201d \u201cindicated,\u201d and \u201csuggested\u201d are more suitable to evaluate your hypothesis.<\/p>\n
    In the\u00a0next article<\/a>, we will discuss the scientific conventions and styles used in chemistry articles.<\/p>\n
    Again, to better understand how these rules and conventions can be incorporated in academic writing, you can try Trinka<\/a>.
