Abstract
One great challenge that introductory chemistry students have is learning the names of various chemical compounds. When this topic is first introduced, and problems and questions are assigned at the end of the chapter, one may hear students moaning and groaning. So to make chemical nomenclature fun, exciting, and palatable, the "Rainbow Wheel" was developed at North Iowa Area Community College.
