Periodic Table Elements Practice

At a kite festival, Rory and Florence are checking the materials and labels on their science stall. Use the element grid and your chemistry knowledge to solve each task. Write element symbols with a capital first letter; any second letter is lowercase.

A. Read the element grid

This grid shows the first 18 elements in atomic-number order. The number is the atomic number; the letters are the chemical symbol.

1 H

2 He

3 Li

4 Be

5 B

6 C

7 N

8 O

9 F

10 Ne

11 Na

12 Mg

13 Al

14 Si

15 P

16 S

17 Cl

18 Ar

1.Rory finds a label marked oxygen at the kite stall. Write oxygen’s chemical symbol.
2.Which element has atomic number 11? Write its name and symbol.
3.Florence sees the symbol Ca on a materials list. Which element does it stand for?
  • Carbon
  • Calcium
  • Chlorine
  • Copper
4.A supplier has left gaps in the element sequence for the festival’s science display. Fill both gaps: Li, Be, , C, N, O, F, .

B. Sort and explain

Use the periodic table patterns and properties you know to help with these festival challenges.

5.The stall needs metal samples. Select every metal from this list: iron (Fe), oxygen (O), copper (Cu), helium (He), aluminium (Al), chlorine (Cl).
  • Iron (Fe)
  • Oxygen (O)
  • Copper (Cu)
  • Helium (He)
  • Aluminium (Al)
  • Chlorine (Cl)
6.Match each group to its description: Group 1; Group 7; Group 0 (also called Group 18). Descriptions: unreactive gases; soft, reactive metals; reactive non-metals.
  • Group 1
  • Group 7
  • Group 0 (Group 18)
  • Reactive non-metals
  • Unreactive gases
  • Soft, reactive metals
7.Sophie notices that neon and argon are both in Group 0. True or false: elements in the same group usually have similar chemical properties.
TrueFalse
8.Explain why elements in the same group of the periodic table often have similar chemical properties.
9.A kite-repair kit contains a metal clip. Name two typical properties of metals that make them useful for objects and equipment.
10.Complete the periodic-table statement: Going down a group, atomic size generally .
11.Complete the periodic-table statement: Elements in the same group have a similar number of electrons.
