In my science class we are learning about solder and other stuff.  He mentioned 
something about a rosin core of solder sticking to metal, but I didnt 
understand, or I just didnt hear it right.  Anyway, We are going to have a test 
on everything he said and I have to know the answer to the question.  Please 
help.
