About this resource

This quiz focuses on chemical nomenclature within inorganic chemistry, specifically targeting the identification and naming of polyatomic ions and element symbols. Appropriate for grades 10-12, this assessment requires students to demonstrate mastery of fundamental chemical vocabulary that forms the foundation for understanding ionic compounds, chemical formulas, and reactions. Students must memorize and accurately recall the names and formulas of common polyatomic ions such as nitrate, sulfate, phosphate, and hydroxide, while also distinguishing between similar ions like nitrite and nitrate or chromate and dichromate. The element symbol portion tests students' knowledge of the periodic table, including both straightforward symbols like C for carbon and more challenging ones like Fe for iron and Sn for tin that derive from Latin names. Success on this quiz requires systematic memorization strategies, pattern recognition skills for polyatomic ion families, and the ability to connect element names with their standardized chemical symbols. Created by Eric Davenport, a Chemistry teacher in the US who teaches grades 10 and 12. This quiz serves as an essential formative assessment tool for building the chemical literacy students need before tackling more complex topics like ionic bonding, chemical equations, and stoichiometry. Teachers can deploy this quiz effectively as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge, as homework to reinforce memorization outside class time, or as a quick check for understanding during review sessions before unit tests. The format works particularly well for spaced repetition practice, allowing students to build automaticity with these fundamental chemical terms through repeated exposure. This assessment directly supports learning objectives aligned with NGSS HS-PS1-1 and Common Core mathematical practices, as students must demonstrate precision in using chemical language and symbols that will be essential for all subsequent chemistry coursework.
