My Notes
Categories
This is an in class activity to provide students the opportunity to practice:
- Reaction predicting (double displacement, redox, precipitation, acid-base, combustion, gas evolution)
- Drawing Lewis dot structures and assigning molecular/electronic geometries
through the lens of explosive compounds (N5+). Included in this paper is an easy discussion regarding safety and energy density of a material.

Students will
- Become familiar with drawing VSEPR structures for various ions
- Identify different types of reactions
- Learn about nitrogen dense species and the safety considerations associated with them.
N/A
We envision splitting students into groups of 2-3, and providing each group with the paper (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/anie.200454242).
In each paper have the students highlight or have highlighted equation 11, the paragraph below, and figure 5. We also suggest highlighting the experimental section Caution! Have the students read these sections Prior to completing the assignment.
Evaluation
This has not been used in a classroom as of yet. We imagine that students work in small groups and will come to the correct answers together.
This was developed at the 2021 IONiC VIPEr workshop and will be updated when implemented.
