Periodic Table
Explore the Periodic Table with quizzes that cover element symbols, atomic numbers, groups, periods, and key trends like electronegativity and reactivity. Great for students and anyone refreshing core chemistry facts and patterns.
Quizzes
Periodic trends: size, energy, and affinity
Test how well you understand periodic trends like atomic size, ionization energy, electron affinity, and electronegativity. You’ll compare elements across periods and groups, interpret common exceptions, and build faster intuition for trend-based questions. Mixed difficulty keeps it useful for both review and exam prep.
Element symbols: tricky letter pairs
Some element symbols look deceptively similar—especially when two-letter pairs overlap in sound or spelling. This quiz focuses on those tricky letter combinations so you can spot the right symbol fast. Expect a mixed difficulty set that rewards careful reading and solid periodic table recall.
Element families: groups and properties
Test how well you know the periodic table’s element families and what their group placement reveals. Identify key properties, typical ions, and reactivity trends across metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. With mixed difficulty, it’s great for both quick review and deeper practice.

What you’ll practice
These Periodic Table quizzes help you recall element names, symbols, and atomic numbers, and connect them to groups, periods, and common properties.
You’ll also practice recognizing periodic trends (like atomic radius, ionization energy, and electronegativity) and how they relate to chemical behavior.
How the quizzes work
Each question is multiple-choice with 4 options, and there’s no timer—so you can focus on accuracy and learning as you go.
Quizzes vary in difficulty and length across the set, so you can start with quick recall and move toward more concept-based trend questions.
Quick context: why the table is arranged this way
The modern periodic table is organized by increasing atomic number, which reveals repeating (periodic) patterns in electron configuration and chemical properties.
Those repeating patterns are why elements in the same group often form similar ions and compounds, even across different periods.
Tips for better scores
- Memorize common element symbols that don’t match English names (e.g., Na, Fe, Ag)
- Use group patterns: alkali metals are highly reactive; noble gases are mostly inert
- Remember trend directions: electronegativity generally increases up and to the right
- Link valence electrons to typical charges for main-group elements
- Practice “neighbors”: elements near each other often have related properties
