Grade Level
8th grade through high school
The instructor should then continue the introduction by explaining the rules of the
game and, more importantly, review the rules of naming for neutral ionic
compounds and simple binary acids. The explanation of the rules for naming can
also be done throughout the activity. Generally, students can gather in groups
and are dealt a number of cards (see rules for the exact numbers).
Then in a practice round, students should then take turns drawing cards and
building neutral ionic compounds (i.e. a student who has one sodium ion and one
chloride ion can make sodium chloride) where the number of dots exactly
matches the number of holes. The instructor should ask all of the students to
write each chemical formula and name each compound correctly. The instructor
should also review the score for forming each compound. Scoring is described in
step 5 of the procedure.
This activity is a game but it is also meant to be a teaching tool for proper naming
procedures. Students will hopefully learn by repeatedly practicing naming simple
compounds. Instructors should emphasize team work and working together to
have students teach and learn from each other. The instructor should move
around to each group quizzing students on writing names and chemical formulas
and provide guidance when required.
Materials
• Playing cards
o 100 cation cards including the alkali and alkaline earth metals and
the most common transition elements in their most common
oxidation states
o 100 anion cards including the halogens, calcogens, and most basic
polyatomic ions
• Game rules
• 4 or more score pads
• Pencils
Optional
For additional learning, samples of common household products can be made
available to students to demonstrate the difference between similar compounds
(e.g. sodium chloride and potassium chloride); in the event such products are
used, goggles should be worn at all times.
About Us
Butane frequently visits elementary schools and the local children’s museum to
demonstrate of the wonders of chemistry to children and adults alike. They also
educate and entertain middle school children who visit their campus each year.
The members of Butane maintain a chemistry club website where they point to
outstanding online science resources and answer science questions submitted
by students, teachers, and parents.
