Lab 3: Nomenclature Puzzle
The primary goal of the nomenclature puzzle was to piece together a square puzzle with many formulas of the different types of compounds. The puzzle had formulas written on each side of the puzzle piece and the goal was to math the puzzle pieces with their corresponding parts. For example Oxygen dichloride would match with the formula OCl2. One of the biggest challenges while working on this puzzling puzzle was not accepting that we had made a mistake , because we were confident with our answer. This caused our team to lose time but it was only a minor setback. Another challenge was recalling the rules for some of the more complex formulas. My biggest contribution to the team was previous knowledge about elemental symbols and the division of labor in our group, one person would make the puzzle and check the formulas and the other two people would find the correct pieces, which resulted in the puzzle being completed very quickly.
