Step-by-step solution for: Periodic Table Worksheet 2
Let's solve the Periodic Table Worksheet step by step.
We are asked to match the correct letter (chemical symbol) with the element name. Here is the list:
---
1. Nitrogen
2. Chlorine
3. Hydrogen
4. Sulfur
5. Silicon
6. Argon
7. Beryllium
8. Potassium
9. Aluminium
10. Carbon
11. Oxygen
a. Ar
b. Ca
c. O
d. H
e. B
f. Cl
g. Al
h. N
i. He
j. Li
k. F
---
Now, let’s match each element name to its correct chemical symbol:
1. Nitrogen → Symbol: N → matches h
2. Chlorine → Symbol: Cl → matches f
3. Hydrogen → Symbol: H → matches d
4. Sulfur → Symbol: S → but wait — S is not listed among the options. Let's check again.
- Wait! The options are: a. Ar, b. Ca, c. O, d. H, e. B, f. Cl, g. Al, h. N, i. He, j. Li, k. F
- Sulfur (S) is missing? That can’t be right. But we have k. F (Fluorine), which is not sulfur.
Hold on — this might be a typo or error in the worksheet. Let’s double-check.
Wait — actually, sulfur is S, but it's not in the list of options. So perhaps there's a mistake?
But look at the options again:
- a. Ar → Argon
- b. Ca → Calcium
- c. O → Oxygen
- d. H → Hydrogen
- e. B → Boron
- f. Cl → Chlorine
- g. Al → Aluminium
- h. N → Nitrogen
- i. He → Helium
- j. Li → Lithium
- k. F → Fluorine
So Sulfur (S) is missing from the options.
But wait — maybe the question has a typo? Or perhaps "Sulfur" is meant to be matched with something else?
No — that doesn't make sense.
Alternatively, maybe the options are all correct, and one of the elements is mislabeled?
Wait — let's go through the list carefully.
Let’s re-express the matching:
| Element Name | Correct Symbol | Matching Option |
|------------------|----------------|------------------|
| 1. Nitrogen | N | h |
| 2. Chlorine | Cl | f |
| 3. Hydrogen | H | d |
| 4. Sulfur | S | ✘ Not in options |
| 5. Silicon | Si | ✘ Not in options |
| 6. Argon | Ar | a |
| 7. Beryllium | Be | ✘ Not in options |
| 8. Potassium | K | ✘ Not in options |
| 9. Aluminium | Al | g |
| 10. Carbon | C | ✘ Not in options |
| 11. Oxygen | O | c |
Wait — so only some of the elements have their symbols in the list.
But looking at the options again:
- a. Ar → Argon → matches #6
- b. Ca → Calcium → not in the list of elements
- c. O → Oxygen → matches #11
- d. H → Hydrogen → matches #3
- e. B → Boron → not in the list
- f. Cl → Chlorine → matches #2
- g. Al → Aluminium → matches #9
- h. N → Nitrogen → matches #1
- i. He → Helium → not in the list
- j. Li → Lithium → not in the list
- k. F → Fluorine → not in the list
So the only elements whose symbols are in the list are:
- Nitrogen → N → h
- Chlorine → Cl → f
- Hydrogen → H → d
- Argon → Ar → a
- Aluminium → Al → g
- Oxygen → O → c
But the worksheet lists 11 elements, including:
- Sulfur → S → not in options
- Silicon → Si → not in options
- Beryllium → Be → not in options
- Potassium → K → not in options
- Carbon → C → not in options
And the options include:
- b. Ca → Calcium → not in the element list
- e. B → Boron → not in the list
- i. He → Helium → not in the list
- j. Li → Lithium → not in the list
- k. F → Fluorine → not in the list
So it seems like there is a mismatch between the element names and the provided symbols.
But wait — maybe the worksheet is designed such that only some of the elements have matching symbols, and others are distractors?
But no — the instructions say: "Match the correct letter with the element name." So every element should have a corresponding letter.
This suggests either:
- There's a typo in the worksheet.
- Or perhaps the symbols are meant to be matched even if not all are present?
But that doesn't make sense.
Wait — let's recheck the element list:
1. Nitrogen → N → h ✔
2. Chlorine → Cl → f ✔
3. Hydrogen → H → d ✔
4. Sulfur → S → ??? ✘
5. Silicon → Si → ??? ✘
6. Argon → Ar → a ✔
7. Beryllium → Be → ??? ✘
8. Potassium → K → ??? ✘
9. Aluminium → Al → g ✔
10. Carbon → C → ??? ✘
11. Oxygen → O → c ✔
Only 6 out of 11 elements have symbols in the options.
But the options include:
- b. Ca → Calcium → not in list
- e. B → Boron → not in list
- i. He → Helium → not in list
- j. Li → Lithium → not in list
- k. F → Fluorine → not in list
So unless the worksheet has errors, this is problematic.
But perhaps the element names are incorrect, or the symbols are misassigned?
Wait — could “Silicon” be confused with “Boron”? No.
Another possibility: Maybe “Aluminium” is written as “Aluminum” — that’s fine, same thing.
But still, Sulfur (S) is not in the options.
Unless… the option “k. F” is meant to be “S”? But it says F.
Similarly, “e. B” is Boron, not Silicon.
Wait — unless the letters are not the symbols, but something else?
No — the instruction says: “Match the correct letter with the element name.” And the letters are labeled with symbols (like a. Ar).
So it’s clear: each letter corresponds to a symbol, and you pick the correct symbol for the element.
But many elements don’t have matching symbols in the list.
So likely, this worksheet has an error — probably only the elements with symbols in the list should be matched, or the options are incomplete.
But let’s suppose that the worksheet is correct and we are to choose from the given options, and perhaps some elements are duplicates or misnamed.
Wait — another idea: Maybe the element names are not all correct, or some are repeated?
Let’s list the elements again:
1. Nitrogen
2. Chlorine
3. Hydrogen
4. Sulfur
5. Silicon
6. Argon
7. Beryllium
8. Potassium
9. Aluminium
10. Carbon
11. Oxygen
All are valid elements.
But their symbols are:
- N, Cl, H, S, Si, Ar, Be, K, Al, C, O
Now compare to options:
- a. Ar → Argon → #6
- b. Ca → Calcium → not in list
- c. O → Oxygen → #11
- d. H → Hydrogen → #3
- e. B → Boron → not in list
- f. Cl → Chlorine → #2
- g. Al → Aluminium → #9
- h. N → Nitrogen → #1
- i. He → Helium → not in list
- j. Li → Lithium → not in list
- k. F → Fluorine → not in list
So the only ones that can be matched are:
1. Nitrogen → h
2. Chlorine → f
3. Hydrogen → d
6. Argon → a
9. Aluminium → g
11. Oxygen → c
That’s 6 matches.
The remaining:
4. Sulfur → S → not in options
5. Silicon → Si → not in options
7. Beryllium → Be → not in options
8. Potassium → K → not in options
10. Carbon → C → not in options
And the options include:
- b. Ca → Calcium → not in element list
- e. B → Boron → not in list
- i. He → Helium → not in list
- j. Li → Lithium → not in list
- k. F → Fluorine → not in list
So unless the worksheet intends for us to ignore those or assume a typo, it's impossible.
But perhaps the intended answer is only for the elements whose symbols are present?
But the worksheet has 11 questions.
Alternative possibility: The worksheet is missing the symbols for S, Si, Be, K, C, and instead, the options are meant to be used for all.
But that doesn't work.
Wait — perhaps the letter choices are not all the symbols, but rather a subset?
But then why include b. Ca, e. B, etc., if they’re not needed?
Unless the worksheet is designed to test recognition, and some answers are not available, but that would be poor design.
Alternatively, maybe the element names are wrong?
For example:
- Is “Beryllium” supposed to be “Boron”? Then Be vs B — close, but not the same.
- “Potassium” vs “Calcium”? K vs Ca — different.
But no.
Wait — here’s a thought: Perhaps the worksheet has a typo, and the element “Sulfur” was meant to be “Oxygen” — but oxygen is already #11.
Or maybe “Silicon” was meant to be “Boron”? But that’s not helpful.
Another idea: Maybe the symbols are listed incorrectly.
But no — the symbols are standard.
Given that, I think the only possible explanation is that the worksheet has errors, or it's a partial matching exercise, but the instructions say to match all.
But since this is a common type of worksheet, perhaps some of the element names are not meant to be matched?
But that doesn’t make sense.
Wait — let’s try to see if any of the unmatched elements could be confused with the options.
For example:
- Carbon → C → not in options
- Silicon → Si → not in options
- Beryllium → Be → not in options
- Potassium → K → not in options
- Sulfur → S → not in options
None of these symbols appear in the options.
So unless the worksheet is flawed, we cannot complete it.
But perhaps the user made a mistake in uploading — maybe the image is cut off?
Or maybe the options are meant to be used for a different set.
Alternatively, perhaps the letters correspond to the elements, but not via symbols, but that contradicts the format.
Wait — look at the format:
> Match the correct letter with the element name.
Then:
1. _______ Nitrogen
a. Ar
b. Ca
...
h. N
So clearly, h. N is the symbol for nitrogen.
So the correct answer for #1 is h
Similarly:
- #2 Chlorine → f. Cl
- #3 Hydrogen → d. H
- #6 Argon → a. Ar
- #9 Aluminium → g. Al
- #11 Oxygen → c. O
So those are correct.
But for the others, there is no matching symbol in the options.
So unless the worksheet is intended to have only these 6 elements, but it has 11, it's inconsistent.
Therefore, I conclude that the worksheet contains errors — either:
- Some element names are wrong,
- Or some symbols in the options are wrong,
- Or some elements are missing from the options.
But based on the information given, we can only match the ones that have correct symbols in the list.
---
1. h – Nitrogen
2. f – Chlorine
3. d – Hydrogen
4. ___ – Sulfur → No match
5. ___ – Silicon → No match
6. a – Argon
7. ___ – Beryllium → No match
8. ___ – Potassium → No match
9. g – Aluminium
10. ___ – Carbon → No match
11. c – Oxygen
---
The worksheet appears to have errors — several elements (Sulfur, Silicon, Beryllium, Potassium, Carbon) do not have their chemical symbols listed in the options. Therefore, it is impossible to complete as written.
However, if we assume that only the elements with matching symbols are to be answered, then the correct matches are:
1. h
2. f
3. d
6. a
9. g
11. c
The rest cannot be matched due to missing symbols in the options.

If you have access to the original image or more context (e.g., whether it's a photocopy or if some parts are missing), please provide that for clarification. Otherwise, this is the best analysis possible.
We are asked to match the correct letter (chemical symbol) with the element name. Here is the list:
---
Element Names:
1. Nitrogen
2. Chlorine
3. Hydrogen
4. Sulfur
5. Silicon
6. Argon
7. Beryllium
8. Potassium
9. Aluminium
10. Carbon
11. Oxygen
Letter Options (with symbols):
a. Ar
b. Ca
c. O
d. H
e. B
f. Cl
g. Al
h. N
i. He
j. Li
k. F
---
Now, let’s match each element name to its correct chemical symbol:
1. Nitrogen → Symbol: N → matches h
2. Chlorine → Symbol: Cl → matches f
3. Hydrogen → Symbol: H → matches d
4. Sulfur → Symbol: S → but wait — S is not listed among the options. Let's check again.
- Wait! The options are: a. Ar, b. Ca, c. O, d. H, e. B, f. Cl, g. Al, h. N, i. He, j. Li, k. F
- Sulfur (S) is missing? That can’t be right. But we have k. F (Fluorine), which is not sulfur.
Hold on — this might be a typo or error in the worksheet. Let’s double-check.
Wait — actually, sulfur is S, but it's not in the list of options. So perhaps there's a mistake?
But look at the options again:

- d. H → Hydrogen
- e. B → Boron
- f. Cl → Chlorine
- g. Al → Aluminium
- h. N → Nitrogen
- i. He → Helium
- j. Li → Lithium
- k. F → Fluorine
So Sulfur (S) is missing from the options.
But wait — maybe the question has a typo? Or perhaps "Sulfur" is meant to be matched with something else?
No — that doesn't make sense.
Alternatively, maybe the options are all correct, and one of the elements is mislabeled?
Wait — let's go through the list carefully.
Let’s re-express the matching:
| Element Name | Correct Symbol | Matching Option |

| 1. Nitrogen | N | h |

| 7. Beryllium | Be | ✘ Not in options |
| 8. Potassium | K | ✘ Not in options |
| 9. Aluminium | Al | g |
| 10. Carbon | C | ✘ Not in options |
| 11. Oxygen | O | c |
Wait — so only some of the elements have their symbols in the list.
But looking at the options again:
- a. Ar → Argon → matches #6
- b. Ca → Calcium → not in the list of elements
- c. O → Oxygen → matches #11

- h. N → Nitrogen → matches #1
- i. He → Helium → not in the list

So the only elements whose symbols are in the list are:

Final Answer (based on correct matches):
1. h – Nitrogen
2. f – Chlorine
3. d – Hydrogen
4. ___ – Sulfur → No match
5. ___ – Silicon → No match
6. a – Argon
7. ___ – Beryllium → No match

Conclusion:
The worksheet appears to have errors — several elements (Sulfur, Silicon, Beryllium, Potassium, Carbon) do not have their chemical symbols listed in the options. Therefore, it is impossible to complete as written.
However, if we assume that only the elements with matching symbols are to be answered, then the correct matches are:
