Use these puzzles to aid the teaching of atoms and ions for your students to use in the classroom. The pieces were cut from MDF Board. These can be used to help your students to balance chemical equations and to grasp the idea of reactants in excess, when teaching stoichiometry. Some of the possible reactions with these pieces: 2 H2 O2 --> 2 H2O N2 3 H2 ---> 2 NH3 Pb(NO3)2 2 KI ---> PbI2 + 2 KNO3
