How do I start a periodic table quiz?

Open this hub, pick a level such as Simple, then choose a paper from that list.

How many periodic table quizzes are on this site?

Eight papers across four levels. Each paper has 20 multiple-choice questions.

How many answer choices does each quiz use?

Simple has three choices. Medium has four. Hard has five. Super-hard has six near-twin answers.

Do you store quiz answers on a server?

No. Selected answers stay in this browser under ptw.quiz keys until you finish or leave. Nothing is sent to our servers.

Can I print or download a quiz paper?

Yes. Every quiz has a blank paper you can print or download for class. After you submit, you can print or download a marked paper that shows your pick and the key.

What does the simple level cover?

Two papers. One on symbols, groups, and atomic number. One on metals, metalloids, and states of matter.

What does the super-hard level cover?

Two papers. One on exchange energy, relativity, and the liquid-drop model. One on f-block configs, auride, and superheavy nuclei.

Are the answers scientifically accurate?

Yes. Ground-state configurations follow NIST. Element counts follow IUPAC’s 118 confirmed elements. Nuclear items use measured binding-energy tables, including the Ni-62 versus Fe-56 distinction.
