About this resource
This chemistry quiz focuses on periodic trends, specifically examining how atomic properties change systematically across periods and down groups on the periodic table. The content is appropriate for 11th grade high school chemistry, as it requires students to understand the relationship between atomic structure and periodic patterns. The quiz covers four major periodic trends: atomic radius, ionization energy, electronegativity, and basic periodic table organization including group families. Students need a solid foundation in atomic structure, including knowledge of protons, electrons, energy levels, and nuclear charge to successfully answer these questions. The problems assess students' ability to predict and explain how properties change based on position in the periodic table, requiring them to connect the underlying atomic theory with observable patterns. Students must understand that effective nuclear charge, electron shielding, and distance from the nucleus drive these trends, and they need to apply these concepts to identify which elements will have the largest or smallest values for specific properties. Created by Jalisa Kale, a Chemistry teacher in the US who teaches grade 11. This quiz serves as an excellent formative assessment tool to gauge student understanding of periodic trends before moving on to more complex topics like chemical bonding or reaction prediction. Teachers can effectively use this as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge, as guided practice during instruction, or as homework to reinforce classroom learning. The quiz works particularly well for review sessions before unit tests, allowing students to identify areas where they need additional support. The mix of conceptual understanding questions and application problems makes it ideal for differentiated instruction, helping teachers identify which students grasp the underlying principles versus those who may be memorizing patterns without understanding. This assessment aligns with NGSS HS-PS1-1 (using the periodic table to predict properties of elements) and supports Common Core mathematical practices through pattern recognition and logical reasoning in scientific contexts.
