    This document describes an activity where students will create models of ionic compounds using puzzle pieces representing cations and anions. Students will cut out puzzle pieces with different ions, combine them to form compounds where the number of cations and anions result in an equal height, and record the chemical formulas and names of the compounds they create. The document provides a table for recording results and lists common cations and anions that can be used to form ionic compounds through the activity.

    Chemistry: Ionic Puzzle Piece Activity

    When metals and non-metals chemically react, the atoms will tend to for ions or
    charged atoms. Ions form because electrons are either gained or lost. Metals will
    generally lose electrons to for cations (positively charged ions). This is because metals
    tend to donate electrons in order to achieve a stable octet. Non-metals will gain
    electrons to form anions (negative ions), since they tend to accept electrons in order to
    achieve a full valence shell (stable octet).

    Activity

    In this activity you will create models of ionic compounds and observe the chemical
    formula of the binary compounds you have created. This data will then be recorded in
    the table/chart given below. NOTE: You will need one cation and one ANION for each
    compound.

    Instructions

    1. Cut out the cation (+) and anion (-) puzzle pieces.
    2. Place the cards together, adding additional cards of the same ion until the height is
    equal and you have made a rectangle).
    3. Count the number of each ion needed for the heights to be equal and record the
    data.
    4. Record the name of each cations and cation combined. Record both the formula
    and name for each ionic compound.

    *Wildcards- wildcards can be used to substitute in ANY element. If you require three
    iodines, but only have two, a wildcard can substitute.
