A Learning Tool for Chemistry and Health Professions Students: Mnemonics for Writing Net Ionic Equations
Mahaffey, Angela L.
Journal of College Science Teaching, v49 n3 p27-30 Jan 2020
This article provides two additional mnemonics that can serve to help undergraduate students recall how to apply the rules of writing net ionic equations. These mnemonics were incorporated into dozens of lecture and laboratory class content, which includes hundreds of undergraduate (health professions and physical science major) students. As a supplement to precipitation reaction general chemistry course content, students noted the ease of use and proficiency in recall of the net ionic equation rules, when employing these rote learning tools. When writing net ionic equations students can recite the following: "Take a MINute" and "Don't touch the LeGS!"
