About this resource
This quiz covers atomic structure and periodic trends in high school chemistry, specifically targeting concepts appropriate for grades 9-11. The questions systematically progress from fundamental atomic structure concepts—including electron configuration, ion formation, and identification of elements from Bohr models—to the more sophisticated topic of Coulombic attraction and its relationship to periodic trends. Students need a solid understanding of atomic structure, including the roles of protons, neutrons, and electrons, as well as the ability to interpret periodic table organization by groups and periods. The core reasoning skills assessed include analyzing the relationship between nuclear charge and electron attraction, predicting how distance and charge affect attractive forces, and applying these principles to explain trends in atomic radius, ionization energy, and electronegativity across periods and down groups. Created by Justin Foley, a Chemistry teacher in the US who teaches grades 9 and 11. This comprehensive assessment tool serves multiple instructional purposes throughout a unit on atomic structure and periodic trends. Teachers can deploy individual sections as warmup questions to activate prior knowledge about electron configuration, use the Coulombic attraction problems for guided practice during direct instruction, or assign the complete quiz as formative assessment to identify student misconceptions before summative evaluation. The systematic progression from basic atomic structure to complex trend analysis makes it particularly valuable for review sessions before unit tests or as differentiated homework assignments. This quiz aligns with NGSS HS-PS1-1 (using the periodic table to predict properties) and supports Common Core mathematical practices through its emphasis on pattern recognition and logical reasoning in scientific contexts.
