Try this site, you can click on the bones of the hand and it will tell you what the bone is called.

The trapezoid bone is a bone in the distal row of the carpus; it articulates with the second metacarpal.

The scaphoid bone is the largest bone of the proximal row of the carpus on the radial side, articulating with radius, lunate, capitate, trapzium, and trapezoid.

Please know what you are talking about before you try to be condescending.
