what are some ways to remember the first 30 elements and symbols of the periodic tables? ?

Question

For my science class we have to remember to first thirty elements along with the symbols, my brain is mostly compatible with music so if anyone that has a jingle to help me that would be AWESOME! thank you to all who help(^_^)!

Answer 1

Sorry, I don't have any musical advice, but I do have advice for memorizing in general. What works for me is to take small steps. I work on learning a few at a time and learn a few more each day. And with elements the symbols mostly makes sense. Like H is hydrogen and how He is helium. There are a few oddities like how K is potassium and Na is sodium.

Answer 2

Haha I need to do that too! Well here's a mnemonic for the first THIRTY elements if it helps ^.^~ the first letter or letters are the symbol for the element:



Happy Henry Likes Beer But Could Not Obtain Food



Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, Beryllium, Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine





Nellie's Naughty Magpie Always Sings Pop Songs Clearly After Killing Cathy



Neon, Sodium, Magnesium, Aluminum, Silicon, Phosphorous, Sulfur, Chlorine, Argon, Potassium, Calcium



I made these last ones up so they kinda suck ^.^ :



Scoring Tiny Vans



Scandium, Titanium, Vanadium





Crossed Mens Feet Collect Nice Cute Zebras



Chromium, Manganese, Iron, Cobalt, Nickel, Copper, Zinc



I hope it helps! It definitely helped me~ xD Good luck on your test btw!
