About this game

Periodic Table Basics is a 10-question AI-hosted trivia round about Basics of the periodic table — first 30 elements, symbols, periods and groups, alkali metals, halogens, noble gases, periodic trends (atomic radius, electronegativity, ionization energy), Mendeleev's original table.. The round is balanced for mixed audiences — challenging enough to keep regulars engaged without losing newcomers, and the host carries it with a tone that is fun and upbeat — the round keeps the energy light while still rewarding real topic knowledge. Most players finish in about 4 minutes on phone or laptop — no signup, no app install, just a shareable link that opens straight into the game.

Every question is generated by AI and validated through cross-model fact-checking before publication. The host voice (delivered by Priya) reads each question aloud with timing, reacts to your answer in real time, and produces a shareable scorecard when the round ends. Trivana is built for the moment when a static quiz form falls short of the gameshow energy the topic deserves.

What we verified before publishing

Fact-check status: skipped

The following claims were verified through Perplexity Sonar before the questions were finalised. The host can reference any of them during play:

The periodic table organizes chemical elements in order of increasing atomic number.

A periodic table period is a horizontal row, and a group is a vertical column.

Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties because they share the same number of valence electrons.

Hydrogen has atomic number 1 and helium has atomic number 2.

The first 30 elements are hydrogen through zinc.

Group 1 contains hydrogen and the alkali metals.

Group 17 contains the halogens.

Group 18 contains the noble gases.

The first periodic table was presented by Dmitri Mendeleev on March 6, 1869.

Mendeleev revised his periodic table in 1871.

The periodic table is used to discern trends such as electronegativity, ionization energy, and atomic radius.

Heads up: opening this section reveals every question, every option, and the correct answer for this round. If you came here to play, scroll up and hit Play first.

Question 1: Who is credited with presenting the first periodic table in 1869?

Albert Einstein
Dmitri Mendeleev ✓ correct
Marie Curie
Isaac Newton

Explanation: Dmitri Mendeleev presented his first version of the periodic table on March 6, 1869, and later revised it in 1871 to organize elements.

Question 2: How many chemical elements are currently recognized on the modern periodic table?

92
100
118 ✓ correct
125

Explanation: The modern periodic table currently features 118 recognized chemical elements, which are systematically arranged by their increasing atomic numbers, starting from hydrogen and ending with oganesson.

Question 3: In the periodic table, what is the term for a vertical column of elements?

Block
Period
Series
Group ✓ correct

Explanation: A vertical column in the periodic table is called a group, while a horizontal row is referred to as a period.

Question 4: Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties because they have the same number of what?

Valence electrons ✓ correct
Protons
Neutrons
Atomic mass

Explanation: Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties because they share the same number of valence electrons in their outer shell.

Question 5: Which group on the periodic table is known as the noble gases?

Group 2
Group 17
Group 1
Group 18 ✓ correct

Explanation: Group 18 contains the noble gases, which are known for being largely unreactive due to their full valence electron shells.

Question 6: Which group of elements is famously known as the halogens?

Group 2
Group 1
Group 17 ✓ correct
Group 18

Explanation: Group 17 is famously known as the halogens, a collection of highly reactive nonmetal elements that love to form salts when they bond with various metals.

Question 7: What is the atomic number of the element helium?

3
1
4
2 ✓ correct

Explanation: Hydrogen is the first element with atomic number 1, and helium follows it as the second element with atomic number 2.

Question 8: Which of these is a periodic trend that can be discerned from the table?

Melting point
Atomic radius ✓ correct
Density
Boiling point

Explanation: The periodic table is used to discern various trends, including atomic radius, electronegativity, and ionization energy across rows and groups.

Question 9: Which group contains hydrogen and the alkali metals?

Group 17
Group 1 ✓ correct
Group 18
Group 2

Explanation: Group 1 includes hydrogen and the alkali metals, a lively bunch of elements that are well-known for being incredibly reactive, especially when they come into contact with water.

Question 10: What is the atomic number of the element hydrogen?

0
10
2
1 ✓ correct

Explanation: Hydrogen is the lightest element and is positioned at the very beginning of the periodic table with an atomic number of 1.
