About this resource
This chemistry quiz comprehensively assesses students' understanding of periodic trends and periodic table organization, making it suitable for grades 10-12. The questions systematically cover the four major periodic trends: atomic radius, ionization energy, electronegativity, and their underlying causes. Students must demonstrate mastery of how these properties change both across periods (left to right) and down groups (top to bottom), understanding the fundamental principle that nuclear charge and electron shielding drive these patterns. The quiz also evaluates knowledge of periodic table structure, including families/groups, periods, valence electrons, and basic element identification through chemical symbols. To succeed, students need to connect atomic structure concepts—particularly electron configuration, nuclear charge, and energy levels—to observable chemical and physical properties, demonstrating their ability to predict and compare elemental behavior based on periodic table position. Created by Amberlee Vessel, a Chemistry teacher in the US who teaches grades 10 and 12. This comprehensive review quiz serves multiple instructional purposes throughout a unit on periodic trends and atomic structure. Teachers can deploy it as a formative assessment to gauge student understanding before summative evaluations, assign it as homework to reinforce classroom learning, or use it as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge before advancing to chemical bonding or reaction prediction topics. The quiz's structure makes it particularly effective for review sessions before unit tests, allowing students to practice both conceptual understanding and factual recall in a low-stakes environment. The variety of question types—from trend identification to specific element comparisons—supports differentiated learning and helps students build confidence in applying periodic trends to predict elemental properties. This assessment aligns with NGSS HS-PS1-1 (periodic trends and electron configuration) and supports the development of scientific reasoning skills essential for advanced chemistry coursework.
