Mnemonics to remember the elements that will help remember the elements in different groups of the periodic table:
Group 1 (Alkali Metals): “Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, Francium” could be remembered using the acronym “LSPRCF.”
Group 2 (Alkaline Earth Metals): “Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium, Radium” could be remembered using the acronym “BMCSBR.”
Group 3 (Transition Metals): “Scandium, Yttrium, Lanthanum, Actinium” could be remembered using the acronym “SYLA.”
Group 4 (Transition Metals): “Titanium, Zirconium, Hafnium, Rhenium” could be remembered using the acronym “TZHR.”
Group 5 (Transition Metals): “Vanadium, Niobium, Tantalum, Dubnium” could be remembered using the acronym “VNTD.”
Group 6 (Transition Metals): “Chromium, Molybdenum, Tungsten, Seaborgium” could be remembered using the acronym “CMTSe.”
Group 7 (Transition Metals): “Manganese, Technetium, Rhenium” could be remembered using the acronym “MTR.”
Group 8 (Transition Metals): “Iron, Ruthenium, Osmium” could be remembered using the acronym “IRO.”
Group 9 (Transition Metals): “Cobalt, Rhodium, Iridium” could be remembered using the acronym “CRI.”
Group 10 (Transition Metals): “Nickel, Palladium, Platinum” could be remembered using the acronym “NPP.”
I hope these Mnemonics to remember the elements are helpful! Good luck with your studies.
