Periodic Table Basics Test

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

The periodic table of elements is a vital tool for all chemistry apprentices and professionals alike. Here is a chance for your beginning chemists to assess their understanding of the periodic table. They list element names, symbols, atomic number, and atomic mass in a chart. They identify what group different elements are a part of. Finally, they determine the number of valence electrons available in different elements. This practical test can easily be put to use in your class.
