What are piano chords and what is their purpose while playing a song?

Q. I'm trying to the learn piano on my own (with the help of dear internet) and i got really messed up with the chords of the piano...-.-". For example, i noticed that on some music sheets, the name of a chord (A, F#M7, D..) is placed on top of each staff/bar. What does that mean? Plese someone help mehhhhhhhhh :'C...................

A. Chords are basically three notes in a key played together. They are played, for the most part, in the bass-line to harmonize with the melody. The chords are called the accompaniment and should be played softer that the melody.
An example of chords: The chords in C are the Tonic Chord (the notes C, E, and G played together) and the Dominant Seventh Chord or G7(the notes B F and G).
Hope I helped! If you have anymore questions feel free to ask me.

Original Question

What are the notes/ fingerings for these arpeggios on piano?
Q. What are the notes for C major C minor G major F major A minor D minor? Please help by telling me the notes or directing me to a website about piano chords, arpeggios or broken chords.

A. Arpeggios , as I'm sure you know are the notes of a chord played consecutively rather than together. So for C major you would play (going up the scale)
C E G C,
then back down the scale.
C minor
C Dsharp F
G major
G B D
F major
F A C
A minor
A C E
D minor
D F A
The fingerings for arpeggios are (right hand) thumb, 3rd finger, little finger 3rd finger, thumb.
or thumb, 3rd finger, thumb little finger, thumb, 3rd finger thumb.
Here are some useful sites (be sure to look at other pages than the ones directly linked.)
