periodic table of elements worksheets- periodic trends flashcards
Boost your pupil understanding of atomic radius, ionization energy (IE), elect r o n e g a t i v i t y (EN), and electron affinity (EA) with this printable, classroom-ready flashcard s e t designed by a chemistry teacher for chemistry teachers!
These flashcards simplify complex trends with clear explanations, exceptions, and real-world connections, making them perfect for visual learners, review sessions, and interactive activities. Whether you teach I B, G C SE, AP, or N G SS-aligned courses, this resource helps students:
Grasp key trends (e.g., why atomic size decreases across periods).
Understand exceptions (e.g., N vs. O ionization energy).
Apply concepts to predict reactivity and bonding.
Aligned with Major Curricula:
I B M Y P/DP (Criterion B: Patterns & Trends)
G CS E/I G C S E Chemistry (Periodicity & Group Properties)
AP Chemistry (Unit 1: Atomic Structure & Periodicity)
C C SS & N G SS (HS-PS 1-1: Use the periodic table to predict properties)
Montessori (Hands-on, inquiry-based learning)

Perfect for:

Warm-ups & exit tickets
Group review games
Differentiated instruction (struggling vs. advanced learners)

Teacher Benefits:
Print-and-go no prep needed!
Color-coded by trend for easy organization.
Discussion prompts to deepen understanding.
