Lab 3: Nomenclature puzzle

The goal of this lab was to complete a puzzle by matching binary and polyatomic ion formulas to their name. This puzzle was good practice on using the naming rules we learned in class today. The biggest challenge during this activity was searching for certain names that were already part of small groups. At the beginning, it was more simple to match names and formulas because we divided by the triangle pieces by the elements on the triangle, but it became more difficult as more and more small groups formed. I believe my biggest contribution to the group was putting the small groups of triangles together, making it easier to find certain triangles. I also helped assign certain elements to certain people, making the process flow more quickly.
