CHEMISTRY: 3RD QUARTER PROJECT: ION FLASH CARDS
THIS PROJECT IS WORTH 100 POINTS. DEADLINE FOR ALL FLASH CARDS IS 1/25/12 FRI
ALL INFORMATION IN THE FLASH CARDS MUST BE MEMORIZED BY 1/31/12 FRIDAY.
In order to be successful in chemistry, you must remember the charges and names of the ions, both for the monatomic ions and polyatomic ions.
**Monatomic ions are atoms that have lost or gain electrons, and are therefore charged atoms.
**Polyatomic ions are a covalently bonded group of atoms that have lost or gain electrons and are therefore charged.
Example 1: Monatomic Ion Example 2: Polyatomic ion
S 2-
NH
GRADING CRITERIA: You will be subtracted 5 POINTS for every occurrence of the following:
If the card does not have the name of the ion; if spelled incorrectly, If they do not have the correct symbols, If charge is not correct, If not neatj, If not the correct number of ions / cards
If card is larger than 3 x 5 inches
