Which crosscutting concept is the primary basis for the organization of the Periodic Table?

• Patterns

• Systems

• Matter & Energy

• Cause & Effect

• Stability & Change

Answer explanation

The Periodic Table is organized based on patterns in the properties of elements, such as atomic number and electron configuration. These patterns help predict the behavior and relationships of elements, making 'Patterns' the correct choice.

Which of the following are signs of a chemical change?

• Production of Light

• Production of Gas

• Phase Change

• Change in Shape

• Formation of a Precipitate

Answer explanation

Signs of a chemical change include production of light, gas, and formation of a precipitate. Phase change and change in shape are physical changes, not chemical.
