This is not a instructional activity per se but a reference sheet for your chemistry class. It lists cations and anions, their chemical symbols, and their net charges. Also included is a thorough explanation of combining these ions to...

Here is a general chemistry instructional activity that incorporates practical applications. Four questions employ critical thinking about solutions, boiling and freezing points, and molar mass. Your class will practice what they learn...

Practice naming ternary compounds with this PowerPoint presentation. Individual slides show the patterns for memorizing the nomenclature for polyatomic ions. Several examples are included for student practice. This thorough and...

In this metals, non-metals, dot diagrams and ions worksheet, students read about each of these topics and they identify if 8 elements are metals or non-metals, they draw electron dot diagrams for 5 elements, they write the charge of 3...

In this chemistry worksheet, learners can use the table to observe and name the common types of ions and determine the charges to explain the gain or loss of electrons.

One document contains five different worksheets for practice naming and writing formulas for ionic compounds. The first is particularly notable, as it systematically walks beginning chemists through the process of using the periodic...

This handout, produced in the UK, contains a chart of cations and anions. It explains how ionic compounds are formed and named. This concise and attractive handout can be helpful as a reference for your chemistry apprentices.

This is an apt assignment for chemistry takers that are studying ionic solutions. Eight questions require problem solving and critical thinking to answer. The first question instructs learners to use a table in the textbook, but you can...

Students set up a cell membrane with the material provided by their teacher and then arrange beads properly to show how the sodium and potassium ions are arranged. They then make a model representing the axon of a neuron.

In this catalysts worksheet, students use transition metal ions to catalyze oxidation reactions of iodide ions. Students measure the rate of the reactions by measuring free iodine as a product.

In this ions worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by filling in the missing names or symbols for positive and negative ions.

Neurons send electrical signals throughout a body based on chemical communication. Individuals stimulate a neuron to see the effects. They notice the sodium-potassium channels along with ions, concentrations, and a membrane potential...

Learners determine the concentration of chloride ions in seawater. In this determination of chloride ions lesson plan, students perform a titration of sea water with silver nitrate and an indicator to determine the chloride ion...

An information-packed eight-page article detailing the history of understanding active transport across cell membranes makes up the bulk of this handout. Two pages of reading comprehension and critical-thinking questions follow. The...

For this ions worksheet, students use a table of common ions to determine how to write the chemical formula, using subscripts, to make a neutral compound. This worksheet has 44 problems to solve.

Learners test different water solutions for the presence of ions. In this water testing lesson plan, students test for iron, calcium, chloride and sulfate ions in solutions. They indicate positive tests based on their results and they...

In this naming and covalent compounds learning exercise, students answer 6 questions about ion notation, they make 6 ionic compounds, they make 6 covalent compounds and they name 10 compounds which are ionic, covalent or polyatomic.

In this naming binary compounds worksheet, students are given 8 pairs of ions and they identify their oxidation numbers, their formula when the combine and the name of the compound. They are given 8 formulas and they identify the...

In this elements instructional activity, students compare and contrast the characteristics of metals and non-metals. Students practice drawing Lewis dot diagrams and writing ion notation. This instructional activity has 9 word problems,...

Simple in format and standard in content, this resource is an assessment of your beginning chemists' grasp of the atom. Using a periodic table of elements, they fill in a chart of missing chemical formulas, atomic masses, and numbers of...

In this ions instructional activity, students use a charge chart in a textbook to determine the charges of different types of compounds. This instructional activity has 24 fill in the blank questions.

For this titration learning exercise, students determine the number of moles of an ion present in given solutions. Students calculate the relative formula mass and the concentrations of ions for solutions. This learning exercise has...

Students complete a graphic organizer for this ion's activity by filling in the successive ionization energies for potassium. Then, they create a graph plotting ionization energy against the number of ions.

In this chemistry worksheet, students write the balanced equation for the reaction and rearrange the potassium expression to solve for x. Then they determine how many grams of silver chromatic can dissolve in a specified amount of sodium...
