About this resource

This chemistry quiz focuses on the periodic table, specifically testing students' knowledge of chemical symbols and element names for the first 36 elements. Designed for 10th grade high school chemistry students, this assessment requires memorization and recognition of fundamental chemical nomenclature. Students must demonstrate their ability to match element names to their corresponding chemical symbols and vice versa, covering elements from hydrogen (H) through krypton (Kr). The quiz tests both directions of this relationship - some questions provide the element name and ask for the symbol, while others give the symbol and require the element name. This bidirectional approach ensures students have developed complete familiarity with these essential building blocks of chemistry rather than superficial one-way recognition. Created by Tori Hale, a Chemistry teacher in the US who teaches grade 10. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for formative assessment, homework assignments, or review sessions as students build their foundation in chemical literacy. Teachers can use this assessment as a warm-up activity at the beginning of class, assign it for independent practice, or incorporate it into review sessions before larger unit tests on atomic structure or chemical bonding. The quiz format makes it particularly effective for identifying students who need additional practice with element recognition before moving on to more complex topics like electron configuration, periodic trends, or chemical reactions. This assessment aligns with NGSS HS-PS1-1 and supports the development of foundational knowledge that students will use throughout their chemistry coursework when writing chemical formulas, balancing equations, and understanding molecular structures.
