Lab 3 Activity: Nomenclature Puzzle



The goal of this lab activity was to finish a puzzle matching the formula to the name of a chemical compound. For example one puzzle piece might say KNO3 and we had to match it to the puzzle piece that said Potassium Nitrate. This helped us practice naming compounds of Types 1, 2 and 3.

The biggest challenge was probably trying to locate all the matching pairs that were written in different directions. Also, there were so many! Once we had major pieces of the puzzle together, it became easier to locate these pairs.

My biggest contribution was matching together different formulas and names. Once we sorted the different elements, it became clearer which ones should be together, so I tried to match them in an efficient way.
