Polyatomic ions - Practice, practice, and more practice

It is that time of the year when all honors chemistry students begin to dream of turkeys, candy canes, and a break from polyatomic ions.  That's right - Polyatomic ions must be memorized by November 28th.  We will have daily quizzes beginning on November 28th on the polyatomic ions.  This means spelling, formula,  and charges for each ion.  We have concluded nomenclature and writing formulas for binary and ternary ionic compounds.  We did a lab in class today to help with these new skills.  The lab will be due after the Thanksgiving break. After our break, we will finish chapter 7 and practice formulas/nomenclature for ionic compounds.  Beginning on Wednesday, we will begin Chapter 8 with a lab.  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone.
