Detailed explanation-1: -To determine if a source is primary or secondary, ask yourself: Was the source created by someone directly involved in the events you’re studying (primary), or by another researcher (secondary)? Does the source provide original information (primary), or does it summarize information from other sources (secondary)?
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, diaries, artwork, poems, letters, journals, treaties, and speeches are all primary sources. Secondary sources are interpretations of primary sources. For example, they can be articles, television documentaries, conferences, biographies, essays, and critiques of a piece of art.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are two types of standard solutions known as primary solution and secondary solution. A primary standard solution is a solution with a high purity and less reactivity. A secondary standard is not that pure and is chemically reactive than primary standards.
