This document contains an assessment for a student to complete about the periodic table of elements. It includes questions asking the student to identify atomic numbers, symbols, and group/family classifications of elements in Period 2. It also contains questions about the properties and location of iron on the periodic table. The student is asked to fill in a chart with the element symbol, atomic number, period, and group for various elements. Finally, there is a section with blanks to fill in using key terms about the periodic table from a word bank provided.
