`CHEM1' Tiles for Mahjongg 4.0
Created March 31, 1993
Tile Set Name: CHEM1.TIL
Subject: ELEMENTS, FLAME TESTS, SOLUTIONS, PRECIPITATES and ORGANIC COMPD'S
Created By: Dr. John R. Wagstaff

CANADA, E2L 4L5
Description: Dr. Martin Thomas (Biology Dept., UNBSJ), in colaboration with
his daughter Calluna, recently designed three beautiful tile
sets for Mahjongg: (1) Tropical Fish (2) Mushrooms, and
(3) Wild Flowers. His efforts inspired me to believe that a
chemist could design a set of tiles equally as interesting as
a set designed by a biologist. This has resulted in the
CHEM1.TIL file that relates to chemistry.
The small size limits what can be put on each tile and
the 16 available colors restrict one in portraying true colors
of chemicals. My intent has been to use color to a maximum,
however, the formulae of most colored chemicals are far too
complex to put on the narrow tiles. Consequently, the
colored representations of the tiles have been limited to a few
elements, ionic substances in solution or precipitates.
In some cases, it has been necessary to approximate color,
e.g. solutions of the manganese (II) ion are pink
rather than the color seen on the manganous tile.
This set of tiles is divided into groups as follows:
(A) Tile # 1 - Logo of the Royal Society of Chemistry
Tile # 2 - Logo of Chemical Institute of Canada
(B) ELEMENTS
Tile # 3 - Fluorine (Pale Yellow gas)
Tile # 4 - Chlorine (Green-Yelow gas)
Tile # 5 - Bromine (Dark red liquid)
Tile # 6 - Iodine (Gray-black solid)
Tile # 7 - Phosphorus (Red solid)
Tile # 8 - Sulfur (Yellow solid)
Tile # 9 - Copper (Red solid)
Tile # 10 - Gold (Yellow solid)
(C) FLAME TESTS OF ELEMENTS
Tile # 11 - Li (Red) These could be used
Tile # 12 - Na (Yellow) as substitutes:
Tile # 13 - K (Lilac)
Tile # 14 - Cs (Blue) Rb - (Purple)
Tile # 15 - Sr (Deep red) Ca - (Orange red)
Tile # 16 - Ba (Pale green)
(D) SOLUTION OF CATIONS AND ANIONS
Tile # 17 - Copper (II) ion (Aqua blue)
Tile # 18 - Cobalt (II) ion (Pink)
Tile # 19 - Chromium (III) ion (Green)
Tile # 20 - Nickel (II) ion (Green)
Tile # 21 - Manganous ion (Pink)
Tile # 22 - Permanganate ion (Deep purple)
Tile # 23 - Dichromate ion (Orange)
Tile # 24 - Chromate ion (Yellow)
(E) PRECIPITATES
Tile # 25 - Lead sulfide (Black)
Tile # 26 - Zinc sulfide (White)
Tile # 27 - Mercury (II) sulfide (Red)
(A precipitate of mercury (II) sulfide is
actually black. I have incorrectly used red in
this tile which is the color of the mercury
sulfide ore called cinnabar or the mercury
sulfide pigment called vermillion.)
Tile # 28 - Cadmium sulfide (Yellow orange)
Tile # 29 - Iron (III) sulfide (Yellow green)
Tile # 30 - Bismuth (III) sulfide (Brown)
Tile # 31 - Iron (II) hydroxide (Pale yellow green)
Tile # 32 - Iron (III) hydroxide (Brown)
Tile # 33 - Nickle (II) hydroxide (Pale green)
Tile # 34 - Cobalt (II) hydroxide (Pink)
(F) AROMATIC COMPOUNDS
Tile # 35 - Benzene (Colorless liquid)
Tile # 36 - Chlorobenzene (Colorless liquid)
Tile # 37 - Bromobenzene (Colorless liquid)
Tile # 38 - Fluorobenzene (Colorless liquid)
(G) CYCLIC COMPOUNDS
Tile # 39 - Cyclopropane (Colorless gas)
Tile # 40 - Cyclobutane (Colorless gas)
Tile # 41 - Cyclopentane (Colorless liquid)
Tile # 42 - Cyclohexane (Colorless liquid)
