Hmm....random question: is the periodic table provided on the PCATs? Anyone know for sure? Just wondering... 😀

NO periodic table!

I was stressing out about this.
Because w/o P. Table then I thought it may be necessary to memorize a couple of MW. I was happy that is not the case. The MW wil be given in the test problems, if I recall correctly from my October PCAT

Hmm...I was wondering if they ask you any questions regarding electronegativity, then I'd have to kinda imagine the periodic table in my head, kind of?

The questions about MW, electronegativity, size, etc were general enough that just looking at the answers and having gone through Chem I and Chem II provided the information needed to answer the question.

I don't recall really needing the table, but you do need to know what the trends are for electronegativity, and I think it would be helpful to memorize the charges on common cations and anions (i.e. SO4 is -2, Ca is +2, etc.)

What about atomic numbers? How are we supposed to know the proton, neutron, and electron numbers of the elements? Are there enough information provided in the questions?

It's a bit fuzzy at this point, I seem to recall information was given OR was about general atoms, {O, C, N, H, Na, S, P, Li}.
