Elements

	The Elements							Polyatomic Ions see below
Do not just print these and stare at them. Start with a learning technique - Write them out yourself! Then a second technique - Make flash cards. Third - Use them! You need these in long-term memory. You need to KNOW the symbol and correct spelling of the name. Quizzes start the day after Atomic Structure Test #1 and continue approximately every other day.
Quizzes 1-3: 10 names and 10 symbols. Quiz #4: You write all 50 symbols. Quiz #5: You write all 50 names Quiz #6-? The most-missed names & symbols						We will have quizzes until over 90% of my students (all classes combined) score over 90%.
The records are: _ Fewest quizzes = 6 _ Most quizzes = 13.
NOTE: Standard Roman Alphabet Characters are required. Creativity is not appropriate here.

Why these four lists? .					You do not need to know the Latin names, but they may provide associations useful in memorization
Polyatomic Ions (Radicals)
Memorize the charges, too. Quizzes will begin after the Periodic Table Test.
hypochlorite_			ClO_{_}^-1	All Halogens have similar compounds. There are 12 other ions you are expected to know WITHOUT MEMORIZING THEM!
chlorite_			ClO₂^-1
chlorate_			ClO₃^-1	nitrite_					NO₂^-1
perchlorate_			ClO₄^-1	nitrate_					NO₃^-1

sulfite_			SO₃^-2	phosphite_					PO₃^-3
sulfate_			SO₄^-2	phosphate_					PO₄^-3
bisulfate_			HSO₄^-1
bicarbonate_			HCO₃^-1	carbonate_					CO₃^-2
dichromate_			Cr₂O₇^-2	chromate_					CrO₄^-2
