<u>Introduction</u><br> Please refer to [[Naming Ionic Compounds]] webpage if you need a review of correct naming of ionic compounds.<br> For this lab, you will be given a plastic bag full of cation tiles (pieces of paper) and another bag full of anion tiles. The cation tile have a wedge or cut-in triangle removed from it for every 1 positive charge on the ion (for example, aluminum ion would have 3 wedges removed from its tile). Anion tiles have a wedge or triangle added to its tile, again for every 1 negative charge (for example, sulfate ion would have 2 wedges added).<br> <u>Objective</u><br> You will make as many correct chemical compounds as you can with the tiles you are given. At a minimum, you will need to make 10 compounds of each of the 3 types of ionic compounds ([[Naming Binary Ionic Compounds]], [[Naming Ionic Compounds with Polyatomic Ions]] and [[Naming Ionic Compounds with Cation with more than one charge]]). Therefore, it is a minimum of 30 compounds you will need to make.<br> <br> The ion pieces can found at [http://www.tmcleod.org/Level1/Chem328IonicCompound/IonSheetPiecesforICNamingPuzzle.pdf Ion Pieces for Naming Ionic Compounds] or will be available in class.<br> <u>Directions / Procedures:</u><br> 1. You will pick a cation and an anion.<br> 2. Write down the symbol and charge of each ion in the order it will go in the ionic compound.<br> 3a. From the "in" wedges and "out" wedges, you put down as many ion of each you need so that all the wedges match up.<br> 3b. Actually draw the wedges in your lab notebook so show you have as many as you need.<br> 4. Then add up how many of cation tiles you have. Then you write down the cation name and the subscript is the number of cation tiles. No charges are used.<br> 5a. Repeat step 4 for the anion making sure to put it next to information from Step 4 to make the correct chemical compound.<br> 5b. Check to see if you need parentheses on any of the ions (as you remember parentheses are used for polyatomic ions).<br> 6. Then name the ionic compounds using the rules/direction stated in the [[Naming Ionic Compounds]] webpages.<br> 7. Repeat Step 1 thru Step 6 for all compounds.<br> <br> <u>Data Table</u> See above description<br> <br> [http://tmcleod.org/Level1/Chem328IonicCompound/ExampleWorkIonicCompoundTileLab.pdf Example of Work for Lab]] <br>
