Salty Eights

• Salty Eights cards

1. Deal eight cards to each player and place the rest in a draw pile. On your turn, you must put down an ionic compound or a noble gas. If you cannot put one down, draw cards until you can. Play until one player has used all of his or her cards.

2. Keep score with a data table like this one. Point values are on the Rules card. List your compounds in the table. Write the metal first and the nonmetal second. If you use more than one atom of an element, don’t forget to put the right number in the formula (for example, write Li₂S for lithium sulfide).
