About this resource

This chemistry quiz focuses on chemical element symbols and names, covering the first 40 elements of the periodic table. The content is appropriate for grades 8-12, as it requires fundamental knowledge of chemical symbols that forms the foundation of chemistry education. Students need to demonstrate bidirectional mastery of element identification—recognizing both the element name when given its chemical symbol and the correct symbol when given the element name. The quiz assesses memorization skills and pattern recognition, requiring students to distinguish between similar symbols like C (Carbon) versus Ca (Calcium) and Cr (Chromium). Success depends on systematic study of the periodic table and understanding that chemical symbols follow specific conventions, sometimes using Latin names like W for Tungsten (from Wolfram) or Na for Sodium (from Natrium). This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying chemistry fundamentals in grades 8-12. The assessment serves multiple instructional purposes throughout the chemistry unit on atomic structure and the periodic table. Teachers can deploy this quiz as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge, as guided practice during direct instruction on element identification, or as a formative assessment to gauge student mastery before advancing to more complex topics like chemical bonding and reactions. The format works effectively for homework assignments, allowing students to self-assess their memorization progress, and as review material before unit tests. This type of foundational knowledge assessment aligns with NGSS standards HS-PS1-1 and MS-PS1-1, which require students to use the periodic table as a model to predict properties and analyze patterns of elements.
