Abstract

Sudoku puzzles that use a mixture of chemical terms and symbols serve as a tool to encourage the necessary repetition and attention to detail desired for mastering the chemistry material. The classroom-ready examples provided use polyatomic ions, organic functional groups, and strong nucleophiles. Guidelines for developing additional puzzles are described.

Supplement

The answer to the functional group sudoku and two additional sudoku puzzles and their answers (anions and neucleophile) are available.
