Play Atomic Structure Game
About the game
This chemistry game is a fun way for middle school students to play and learn about the structure of atoms. The game also has a quiz on the first 20 elements of the periodic table of elements.
Grades: 7 & 8
Time: 15-20 mins.
Skill you will learn: You will be able to understand and answer questions on electron orbits, mass number, atomic number, valency, isotopes and formation of cations and anions. You will also learn electronic configuration and periodic properties of the first 20 elements of the periodic table.
Teachers Note: This game will help students understand and answer questions on atomic structure and first 20 elements of the periodic table. It may be used as a fun 15 -20 minutes activity or homework assignment.

How to play
The game is a simple platformer where you have to cross multiple levels riding on atomic orbits. During your progress you have to answer quiz questions on structure of the atom ( Bohr’s model), various sub atomic particles, mainly neutrons, protons and electrons, atomic number, mass number, isotopes, anions, cations and other properties.
If you collide with an electron you have to answer a quiz question in order to continue. Questions are on
subatomic particles
- electron orbits
- mass number and atomic number
- valency
- formation of isotopes, cations, anions
In another level you have to answer questions on the periodic table and create the first 20 elements of the periodic table. Observe the electronic configuration of each atom being created. Answer questions on
- arrangement of elements in the periodic table
- common properties of elements in a group and period
- name, atomic number and symbol of the first 20 elements of periodic table
- ionization energy
- electronegativity
- electron affinity
Play all levels and become an expert on structure of atoms and first twenty elements of the periodic table.
There is no time limit for the levels so you can learn at your own pace.
