- 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)
