Teaching notes

Use this practice well

Use a periodic table as a reference for early rounds, then close it to test recall. Read symbols carefully because capitalization changes a chemical symbol.

What this develops

Practise chemical element names, symbols, and atomic-number facts.

A mistake to watch for

Co is cobalt, while CO represents a compound; letter case matters.

Ways to use it

  • Learn common element symbols.
  • Review after a chemistry lesson.
  • Check atomic-number recall.

Scope and limits

This introductory quiz does not teach chemical bonding or all periodic trends.

Sources and scope

Names, symbols and atomic numbers come from NIH PubChem, with IUPAC used as a cross-check.
