 ABSTRACT (15PTS)

(This should be the brief version of the entire paper. It therefore should include a brief introduction, methods, results and discussion
expressed in 200-300 words. This truncation is normally achieved in part by greatly abbreviating the methods portion, unless the method
involved are novel or are crucial to the understanding the findings presented. The abstract should end with the overall conclusion.

INTRODUCTION (20PTS)

(This section should include background information setting up the scientific problem you are attempting to address and the
overall goal of the experiments you performed. It should contain the hypothesis and the rationale of the experiment. The following
questions may be used in writing your introduction:

 What are you doing and why?

 What directly relevant information is necessary to understand the principles of the procedures performed?
 What is not known that you hope to address?
 What are you planning to accomplish?
 How did you accomplish it?
 Give some relevant information about the subject of the experiment.

In writing an introduction, you are attempting to orient the readers, so that they will know what to consider as they read the rest of
the paper. This means that you should carefully consider whether you are presenting information that is irrelevant or misleading. In
addition, after having read your introduction, the reader should have an appreciation of the questions you were attempting to address with
your experiments and why these questions are important. If someone can read your introduction without wanting to read the rest of your
paper to find the answer to the burning questions that you raised, you have not written your introduction properly!)

OBJECTIVES (10PTS)

This section must enumerate the main objectives of the experiment. At least 3 objectives should be presented.

MATERIALS AND PROCEDURES (20PTS)

(This section should be a concise summary of what you did. A flow chart of the protocols preformed must be presented. It should
contain a careful description of the procedures, protocols and solutions used in the experiment. It should include enough detail so that any
reasonably intelligent Chemist or informed reader could understand and repeat/perform your work but not a minute-by-minute recitation of
the hours you spent performing the experiment.)

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION (25PTS)

(The ANSWERS to the objectives of the experiment must be concisely discussed or explained in this section. This section should
also contain a description of what you did in your own words. This section presents the finding of the experiment in brief concise narrative
form supplemented with figures, tables, diagrams, graphs, etc. Discuss the results observed from each step or test performed. The
narrative should make reference to the figures and point out important details or ideas relevant to the rationale of the experiment. All
figures/tables/diagrams must have complete legends, including a descriptive title and the information necessary to comprehend the figure.
For each set of experiments, you need to consider the following questions:

 What did you do?

 How you did you preform the experiment?
 What was the rationale for the methods you employ?
 What are your ACTUAL OBSERVATIONS
Present the information as clearly as possible

(This section should also contain explanation of what the results mean. The data obtained should be compared to those reported
in the literature/ reference books and sources. The errors should be discussed as well as possible future studies if appropriate. The
following questions may be considered:

 If the experiment did not go as planned, what went wrong?

 What did you discover from the results of the experiment?
 What can you say about the hypothesis now that you have additional data?
 What did you expect to see?
 Did you see what you expected?
 Did you find surprising results and what are they?
 Which of your results are interesting?

State and critically evaluate any assumptions that were made. Estimate the accuracy of your results. Note and discuss the
inconsistencies in your data that make your drawing the conclusions difficult. Discuss the improvements that could be made to improve you
results.)

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION (10PTS)

This section should contain the summary of the results of the experiment that have guided the researchers to make a sound conclusion.
The summary should be able to explain as to how the elimination was done and how the researchers established the identity of the
compound. The conclusion should be well constructed, relevant, and valid.
