Stack overflow

I'm on the stack overflow thing! Nothing big, but a big help

  1. Hi, saw your post about your chromium paper and was about to post my reply right when you deleted the question. Anyway, here's my answer.

    I haven't read your entire paper, but reading that conclusion, the only sentences that _don't_ feel like new information are the first and the last one. The rest of it looks like new information. The following is definitely new information:

    > Chromium is used in the process of electroplating, **which is the process of** [...]. If an element has this property, then it becomes more durable and lasts for a longer period of time. This is **because**, when a metal rusts, oxygen chemically bonds with the outermost layer of the metal, and, when the rust is removed, so is a layer of the metal. Eventually, the metal will wear down to nothing.

    You're not supposed to explain new concepts in a conclusion, you sum up the paper and reach some sort of a conclusion.

    > Overall, chromium is an essential element that the world would be severely hindered without.

    This is a conclusion, but without evidence. Why is chromium so important? Merely because of electroplating, a concept you explained in the last paragraph of your paper _about_ chromium?

    That should hopefully give you some pointers, but I recommend you read on Wikipedia what a conclusion is supposed to include.
