skulldude, please don't expect an answer immediately after posting. This forum is slow but precise. We make our answers good but not quickly. Have patience :0)

 

I figure you're probably doing some homework right now and haven't entirely read your textbook. My advice is that it's easier for you to look up the phrases you're asking about on wikipedia, which has diagrams and well-written explanations than it is for me to try to explain it to you. Your textbook will also have explanations and diagrams.

 

Let me know if you're having difficulty after you've done that.

Well, i am preparing for an exam right now. But the prescribed syllabus for the same is somewhat varied from what i had studied in my higher secondary( in the sense, it is difficult).

 

We dont have a prescribed textbook for this examination or else i would have referred it.

 

And as for wikipedia, i think i am a starter, and i am not able to comprehend them as they dont have separate sections for starters do they?

 

Regarding my patience, i dont think i was pressing for answers. And all my questions were different weren't it......

 

Finally, if you wish to clear my doubts, i would be very happy....

Try here: http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Also, these topics will be in any chemistry textbook. Go to a library, choose one you like the style of and get studying. We can't tell you everything in ten seconds
