Chemical reactions can be represented by word equations or equations using symbols and formulae. How are chemical reactions represented?

Use the items in the periodic elements tray to identify the symbol or name of the element. Challenge - attempt the compounds.

Students will be supplied with a periodic table for the exam and should be able to use the names and symbols of the first 20 elements in the periodic table, the elements in Groups 1 and 7, and other elements in this specification What are the names and symbols of elements in Groups 1 and 7?

Name compounds of these elements from given formulae or symbol equations. What are the names of the following compounds: NaCl, KF, LiBr?

In chemical equations, the three states of matter are shown as (s), (l) and (g), with (aq) for aqueous solutions. In a chemical equation, what do the symbols (s), (l), (g), and (aq) represent?

Review from KS3 balancing equations if secure in the naming and symbols of basic elements and compounds. What state symbols are added to each part of the chemical equation below? C O2 -> CO2
