1. The text of the paper must be at least 4 pages in length. One page must contain a hand-drawn molecular structure in ink showing hybridizations and bond angles, with a list of chemical and physical properties. The last page must be a bibliography, clearly showing the references used for the paper.  Make sure journal articles are cited properly, including journal title, year, volume, number, author, article title and pages. Total length of the paper should be 4-5 pages, so that leaves 2-3 pages of actual writing. 2. Format the paper using 1-inch margins, double spacing and Times Roman 12-point font. 3.
