About this resource
This quiz comprehensively covers the organization of the periodic table, making it ideal for 9th-grade chemistry students who are building their foundational understanding of atomic structure and elemental properties. The questions assess students' knowledge of periodic table terminology (periods, groups, families), classification of elements into metals, nonmetals, and metalloids, and the characteristic properties of major element families including alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halogens, noble gases, and transition metals. Students need to understand the relationship between an element's position on the periodic table and its chemical and physical properties, recognize specific elements and their locations, and grasp the historical development of periodic organization from Mendeleev's mass-based arrangement to the modern atomic number system. The quiz requires students to apply pattern recognition skills, memorize key element classifications, and understand the connection between electron configuration and chemical behavior across different regions of the periodic table. Created by Chelsa Burch, a Chemistry teacher in US who teaches grade 9. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for formative assessment, homework assignments, or review sessions as students master the fundamental concepts of periodic trends and elemental classification. Teachers can use this as a warm-up activity to gauge student understanding before diving deeper into electron configuration and bonding concepts, or as practice material to reinforce learning after initial instruction on periodic table organization. The variety of question formats, including multiple-select questions, helps students demonstrate different levels of understanding while building confidence with both basic terminology and more complex pattern recognition skills. This assessment aligns with NGSS HS-PS1-1 (using the periodic table as a model to predict properties of elements) and supports the development of crosscutting concepts related to patterns in the natural world that students will apply throughout their chemistry studies.
