We all have read the periodic table at least once in our lifetime. Do you know the parts of the periodic table? Then take this quiz and test your knowledge about the same! The periodic table consists of elements such as hydrogen, silicon, iron, and uranium. The number of each component corresponds to the number of protons in its nucleus.

Where are the transitional metals located on the periodic table?
-
On the left side of the periodic table
-
In the middle of the periodic table
-
On the right side of the periodic table
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. In the middle of the periodic tableExplanation
The transitional metals are located in the middle of the periodic table. They are found between the alkali earth metals and the nonmetals. These elements have properties that are a combination of both metals and nonmetals. They are known for their ability to form multiple oxidation states and for their high melting and boiling points. Some examples of transition metals include iron, copper, and zinc.Rate this question:

Who invented the periodic table?
-
Ernst Rutherford
-
Henry Mosely
-
Newton
-
Dmitri Mendeleev
Correct Answer
A. Dmitri MendeleevExplanation
Dmitri Mendeleev is credited with inventing the periodic table. He published the first version of the periodic table in 1869, arranging the elements based on their atomic mass and properties. Mendeleev's periodic table provided a systematic organization of the elements, allowing for the prediction of undiscovered elements and their properties. His work laid the foundation for the modern periodic table we use today, which is arranged based on atomic number.Rate this question:

Which direction (up/down or left/right) are the families?
-
Left/right
-
Up/down
-
Both
-
None
Correct Answer
A. Up/downExplanation
The correct answer is up/down because the question is asking about the direction in which the families are located. The options "up/down" and "left/right" indicate the two possible directions. Since the answer is "up/down," it means that the families are positioned vertically, either above or below each other.Rate this question:

Which element is located in group 2, period 3?
-
Be
-
Mg
-
B
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. MgExplanation
The correct answer is Mg because it is the only element in the options that belongs to group 2 and period 3 on the periodic table. Be belongs to group 2 but is in period 2, B belongs to period 2 but is not in group 2, and None of these is not a valid element.Rate this question:

How many electrons can fit in the first energy level?
-
7
-
8
-
18
-
2
Correct Answer
A. 2Explanation
The first energy level can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. This is because the first energy level consists of only one sublevel, which is the s sublevel. The s sublevel can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.Rate this question:

What does the number 3 indicate in this cell from the periodic table?
-
Number of neutrons in a lithium atom
-
The atomic mass in the lithium atom
-
The number of protons in the lithium atom
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. The number of protons in the lithium atomExplanation
The number 3 in this cell from the periodic table indicates the number of protons in the lithium atom. The atomic number of an element represents the number of protons in its nucleus, and since lithium is in the third row of the periodic table, it has 3 protons.Rate this question:

What does the number 3.91 indicate in this cell from the periodic table?
-
3.91 indicates the mass of 1 atom of lithium
-
Indicates the average atomic mass of lithium - taking into consideration the naturally occurring isotopes
-
It is the average number of protons in lithium metals.
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. Indicates the average atomic mass of lithium - taking into consideration the naturally occurring isotopesExplanation
The number 3.91 in this cell from the periodic table indicates the average atomic mass of lithium, considering the naturally occurring isotopes.Rate this question:

Which are the characteristics of metals?
-
Conduct electricity and heat.
-
Non-shiny and generally liquid at room temperature.
-
Shiny and generally gas at room temperature.
-
All of these
Correct Answer
A. Conduct electricity and heat.Explanation
Metals are known for their ability to conduct electricity and heat, making this the characteristic that sets them apart from other materials. This property is due to the presence of free electrons in the metal's atomic structure, which can easily move and transfer energy. The other options, non-shiny and generally liquid at room temperature, and shiny and generally gas at room temperature, do not accurately describe the characteristics of metals.Rate this question:

Which group of elements are called the Alkali metals?
-
Group 1 (IA)
-
Group 2 (IIA)
-
Group 3 (IIIA)
-
Group7 (VIIA or 17)
Correct Answer
A. Group 1 (IA)Explanation
The group of elements called the Alkali metals is Group 1 (IA). Alkali metals include elements such as lithium, sodium, potassium, and cesium. These elements are highly reactive and have only one valence electron, making them very reactive and easily losing that electron to form a positive ion. They are typically soft, shiny, and have low melting points.Rate this question:
