reflection of the frontier chemistry project

The frontier chemistry project was a online data base that would help us to help treat the maladies given to us using the plants in the Eastern Deciduous Forest, and the Tall Grass Prairie of Missouri. We had to also go out and find 15 other plants and take pictures with them. the pictures were the hardest part of the project because it actually required me to go out and find these plants, and they were not all located in one place. it was also rather difficult to find the active chemical ingredients that was needed in the data base. after told a website that located these ingredients when given the plants name, it was fairly easy to finish off the project. after the data base was complete we had to write a essay in which we were randomly given one of the maladies and we had to treat it. this was fairly easy also as I had already done all the research necessary and could easily complete it.

Reflection of nomenclature

During the Nomenclature unit we learned how to name the different types of compounds. We learned how to take their chemical forms and tell what their name was, and take their name and tell the chemical formula. We learned binary compounds which was broken into three types; Type I, Type II and Type III. we also learned how to name acids and the polyatomic ions. It will be important to know how to know these rules of naming as they will help us in the future units to come. To practice some of these we did a Grocery store nomenclature lab which used the polyatomic ions to find items that can be found commonly in a household
