"Excellent lab activity to accompany ionic compound learning. My students really benefited from the straight forward directions. They also enjoyed seeing the formation of compounds in lab, it helped them make sense of what we were learning in class. "

Description

In this lab, students will perform 12 Color-Changing Chemical Reactions.

Students will record the colors they see and then perform twelve (12) Criss-Crosses (Drop-and-Swaps) to determine the Chemical Formulas of each Ionic Compound. Finally, students will name each new compound using the IUPAC System.

Newly formed Ionic Compounds contain some Transition Metals (with Roman Numerals) and some Polyatomic Ions.

Please see "Materials Section" on student laboratory worksheet for necessary Chemical Solutions needed.

My students love whenever it's lab day. They enjoy any and all hands on activities. This was a great lab to introduce ionic bonds.

Great lab that was designed well and allowed students to follow the directions. I had to modify some of the compounds because we did not have them in the chemistry stockroom but have them ordered for next year. This lab will be one that I will use each year.

This is an excellent way to get students to see the formation of ionic compounds in a hands-on experience. My students love labs! This also forced them to get practice with writing chemical formulas.
