Game: Matchmaker: Ionic Bonding Mark as Favorite (58 Favorites)
In this game, students will test their ionic bonding knowledge by forming ionic compounds from a variety of ions. During the game, students will be provided with a name of the ionic compound and two ions (one cation and one anion). The goal of the game is to form an ionic compound that matches the name using the provided ions. Students score points by combining the ions in the correct ratio, based on the charges, and by selecting the matching chemical formula.

Activity: Introduction to Naming and Formula Writing for Ionic Compounds Mark as Favorite (113 Favorites)
In this activity, students will be introduced to ionic compound formulas and names. They will group prepared cut-outs to note similarities and differences among different classes of ionic compounds (i.e. binary and ternary, including metals with varying charges). The goal is not to be equipped to write names and formulas for ionic compounds, but to recognize trends in naming.
