I've looked in couple of revision guides and it isn't in there and i have searched the net and couldn't find it

That'd be a letter X with a little n next to it.... Dont you do english boy!!
Posted by max99
loool, yea but wat does it mean, i know all the harmful , iritant etc but this one isn't in our books, however someone told it me it may just mean hazordous

i never seen that before just did a quick search on google and nothing came up
how was the exam
Posted by max99
was alr8, stuck on few questions but wasn't as hard as i thought, shud have done bit more revision tho
got business studs 2moz which i'm gd at so thats alr8 then only got 4 more exams 2 go

maybe it was a typo because i thought it meant harmful, well it was when i was in school anyway
maybe they meant the n to be a h

I think X is supposed to represent the symbol for the atom e.g. C for carbon and n is the number of protons, but this is just a guess
Posted by max99
yea lots of people put harmful as they thought could have been spelling mistake n instead of h but we have had exams before with mistakes and they always read it out at begining
Posted by haynesycop
hmm maybe they didnt notice its probably worth asking your teacher
i have lookd on loads of gcse revision sites and it hasnt appeared
and if they have put it in a paper without dding it in revision books etc then they have made a boob

Xn = harmful
Xi = irritating
( might be a bad babelfish translation )
Edit= the translation is correct

well in all books it says
Xh is harmful so maybe Xn is another way but i never been taught that way :@

Xn is for nocif in french, hence the "n" I suppose, which is the same as Xh for harmfull but in english.

You don't represent an element with X unless it's from the Hallogene familly or the teacher asks dumb questions.
