Free online mock test for Periodic Properties and Variations of Properties (ICSE Class 10 Chemistry) — 20 competency-based questions based on the latest CISCE 2027 syllabus, with instant marking. Try the samples below, then take the full test free.

What to expect: This mock test covers key concepts from the Periodic Properties and Variations of Properties chapter — including application-based and competency-focused questions aligned with how ICSE actually sets the paper.

Tip: Attempt without notes first to identify gaps, then review explanations for any wrong answers. Retake after a few days for best retention.

Sample questions

  1. 1.Why does the oxidising power of elements increase on moving from left to right along a period in the periodic table?
    • A.Atomic size increases, making electron gain easier
    • B.Nuclear hold on electrons strengthens, enhancing electron acceptance
    • C.Electronegativity decreases, reducing oxidizing ability
    • D.Metallic character increases, preventing electron gain
  2. 2.In Period 3 of the periodic table, which of the following is the most metallic element?
    • A.Sodium
    • B.Magnesium
    • C.Aluminium
    • D.Silicon
  3. 3.... (Mendeleev/Moseley) left gaps in the periodic table for the undiscovered elements.
    • a.Moseley
    • b.Mendeleev
    • c.John Newlands
    • d.William Ramsay
  4. 4.What are Lanthanides and Actinides in the context of the periodic table?
    • A.Lanthanides are elements with atomic numbers 57 to 71, and Actinides are elements with atomic numbers 89 to 103, both classified as inner transition elements.
    • B.Lanthanides and Actinides are groups of elements located in the main body of the periodic table, representing transition metals.
    • C.Lanthanides are elements with atomic numbers 58 to 72, and Actinides are elements with atomic numbers 90 to 104, both part of the s-block.
    • D.Lanthanides and Actinides are synthetic elements only, with no naturally occurring members in either series.
  5. 5.The non-metallic properties of elements from left to right in a periodic table
    • A.increases
    • B.decreases
    • C.remains same
    • D.first increases and then decreases
