Lab 3: Nomenclature Puzzle

Summary: The purpose of this lab was to establish the information about nomenclature and ions that we had learned earlier in the day by putting together a puzzle featuring names of compounds and their formulas.

(Fig. 1, a picture of the puzzle)

The biggest challenge of this lab was flipping through the lab book repeatedly and assuring that the formulas we had assumed were associated with the names of the compounds were actually supposed to paired together. My biggest contribution was, in an effort to reduce time spent on this lab, assembling pieces of the puzzle by myself, matching formulas on one side while asking if anyone had any of the other pieces I was looking for.
