About this resource

This quiz focuses on polyatomic ions and ionic compound nomenclature, which are fundamental topics in high school chemistry appropriate for grades 10-12. The questions systematically build students' understanding from basic ion terminology (cations versus anions) through the identification and memorization of common polyatomic ions like nitrate, ammonium, carbonate, hydroxide, phosphate, and sulfate. Students must demonstrate mastery of chemical formulas, including proper subscript and superscript notation for charges, and apply their knowledge to name ionic compounds containing polyatomic ions. The final questions require more advanced skills in formula writing with correct stoichiometry and determining oxidation states from chemical formulas. Success on this quiz requires students to memorize the names, formulas, and charges of essential polyatomic ions while understanding the principles of ionic bonding and charge balance in compound formation. Created by Stephanie Haas, a Chemistry teacher in the US who teaches grades 10 and 12. This quiz serves as an excellent review tool for students learning ionic compounds and chemical nomenclature, making it ideal for formative assessment before a unit test or as targeted practice for students struggling with polyatomic ion recognition. Teachers can use this as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge, assign it as homework to reinforce classroom learning, or implement it as a quick check for understanding during instruction. The quiz effectively supports student mastery of NGSS HS-PS1-1, which requires students to use the periodic table to predict the relative properties of elements, and aligns with Common Core mathematical practices as students apply systematic reasoning to balance chemical formulas and determine ionic charges.
