Title of the Practice

Quiz competition on the periodic table

Objectives of the Practice

The objective of conducting a quiz competition is to assess participants' knowledge both within and outside of the classroom, as well as to familiarize them with quiz possibilities and the objectivity of the questions. The competition's major goal is to increase interest in topics related to periodic table. The department has regularly organized ‘Quiz competition on the periodic table’ for FY/SY/TY B.Sc. students to increase the knowledge of all the elements present in the periodic table.

Outcomes

  • Understand that the periodic table is a way to sort elements
  • Understand that elements are placed on the periodic table due to similar properties
  • Identify a period and a group on the periodic table
  • List at least three metals, non-metals and metalloids
  • List at least two properties of each: metals, non-metals and metalloids
