>imagine being a student in China and memorizing the period table characters Phew
We did this and we're not chinese
>>199204339Every chemistry exam I've written gave a periodic table for reference
>>199204466>we're not chinese
>>199204466...
>>199204339Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, Beryllium, Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Neon,Sodium, Magnesium, Aluminium, Silicon, Phosphorus, Sulfur, Chlorine, Argon, Potassium, Calcium, Scandium, Titanium, Vanadium, Chromium, Manganese, Iron, Cobalt, Nickel, Copper, Zinc, Gallium, Germanium, Arsenic, Selenium, Bromine, Krypton, Rubidium, Strontium, Yttrium, Zirconium,Niobium, Molybdenum, Technetium, Ruthenium, Rhodium, Palladium, Silver, Cadmium, Antinomy, Tin,Indium, Tellurium, Iodine, Xenon, Cesium, Barium, Lanthanum(begin Lanthanides, 58-71, group of 14 not incl. Lanthanum, I get the order all messed up here I'm sure):Cerium, Promethium, Samarium, Praseodymium, Neodymium, Europium, Gadolinium, Terbium, Dysprosium, Holmium, Erbium, Thulium, Ytterbium, Lutetium(72-89, group of 18 until Actinides):Tantalum, Hafnium, Tungsten, Rhenium, Osmium, Iridium, Platinum, Gold, Mercury, Thallium, Lead, Bismuth, Polonium, Astatine, Radon, Francium, Radium, Actinium,(begin Actinides, 90-103, group of 14 not incl. Actinium, I get the order all messed up here I"m sure):Protactinium, Thorium, Uranium, Neptunium, Plutonium, Americium, Curium, Californium, Berkelium, Nobelium, Mendelevium, Lawrencium,(104-118, group of 15, trying my best on order)Rutherfordium, Dubnium, Seaborgium, Bohrium, Hassium, Meitnerium, Darmstadtium, Copernicium, Roentgenium, Nihonium, Flerovium, Moscovium, Livermorium, Tennessine, Oganesson.I'm missing like 2-3 god-damn Lanthanides/Actinides, and I have some stuff out of order I'm sure.
>>199204339I agree this sucks for academic research, it's more of a legacy thing from Qing dynasty that is stuck there forever
>>199204901This. Actually memorizing the periodic table is simply a waste of time and opens yourself up to completely unnecessary errors. Just save one to your computer or print one out and stick it in your wallet for maximum autism points.
