Is there an easy way to memorize first 20 elements of Periodic Table of the Elements?

Question

I need to know the symbols, i pretty much do already. But i need to know the atomic number, and i know that that is the same as the protons and electrons. But, how do i also memorize the atomic mass and number of neutrons?

I have to know them all by tomorrow

Answer 1

You can use mnemonics and make a simple periodic table, there you can assign atomic number and their atomic weight will be more or less twice the atomic number...
Its just a case of familliarization..

Answer 3

The best way would be to make a sentence out of them. For example, i remember the second row of the periodic table by making the sentence : Little Bears Bakes Cakes Not On Food Network Li - lithium Be- beryllium B- Boron C- carbon N - nitrogen O - oxygen F- fluorine Ne - neon also, if u go down the first column and the second column u see that they end with -ium making it a bit easier to remember. Try to find similarities and such. BTW- u can also try to remember the element song tho its not the first 20.

This should greatly help.

There is a book called Yo Sacramento that teaches you the states and capsitals in this same fashion, easy enough for a small child.
