The P-Block elements Now, starting with the P-block, Take one column at a time. So, you are about to learn groups 13 – 17. Group 13– Starting with Boron [B] – is to be rememberd as –BAlGaInTl = BAGIT (or BAG IT !) Group 14– Starting with Carbon [C] –Carbon andSilicon chips inGermany doped with Tin(Sn) and Lead(Pb) – C Si Ge Sn Pb Group 15– Starting with Nitrogen [N] –NagaPambuAasaiyaSaabuduthuBiscuit – N P As Sb Bi Group 16– Starting with Oxygen [O] –Ohh YeS!SeThuPo(as in O SSe Te Po) Group 17– Starting with Fluorine [F] – Remember it as if you where rushing through it! Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, Astatine – all the ‘ine’ endings somehow rhyme for me Group 18– You got to learn these by heart as they are NOBLE enough to be on the periodic table The D-block elements We shall now deal with the Dreaded D-block elements. Here, i would prefer to attack in a row-wise (period-wise) manner. Period 4- Taking up the 1st row of D-block, that is the 4th Period in the table, break it down into two equal halfs: viz.Sc, Ti, V, Cr, MnandFe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn For the 1st half – Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn – remember it as –Scandium sawTitanic inVettriChrompet Theatre withManganese For the 2nd half – Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn – remember it as if your are reading of the Symbols – Feh Co Nee Ku Zinc –FeCo NiCu Zn– Fe,Co and Ni,Cu are two couples whereas Zn is a bachelor( Be careful not to mess up the order of Cobalt – Co – and Copper – Cu – while remembering it ) Period 5 –Assume, this period is a story about two friendsY(Yttrium) andZ(Zed/Zee – Zirconium). Now,YandZare two friends and they say “Namba(Nb)Teacher(Tc)R-square(Ru,Rh)” (Our teacher R-square). Then they sing, dance to music from a CD –Padi(Pd)Aaadi(Ag)Cd in short:YandZ– two friends – say “NambaTeacherR-square” – andPadi,Aadi to aCd …….Sounds good ?? Period 6– For this one, i would like to approach it from the reverse. That is Hg, Au, Pt, Ir, Os, Re, W, Ta, Hf Expanding and associating each symbol with easy to remember words like: Hg – Mercury – Marie – a brand of biscuit which is popular in India W – Tungsten – Wandhichu or Vandhichu- meaning “to come” or “to get affected with” Ta – Tantalum – Theriyuma – meaning “do you know? “ So imagine your talking to the element Hafnuim (Yup! Hafnium is a tamilian and knows tamilAbsolutely no questions to be raised here !!), the complete sentence in tamil is like “Marie Gold Platinum biscuit saaptu Irridium ku Soree Wandhichu Theriyuma Hafnium ?” The same with some more explanation in braces for better understanding would be: “Marie(Hg)Gold(Au)Platinum(Pt) biscuit saaptuIrridium(Ir) kuSoRee(OsRe)Wandhichu(W)Theriyuma(Ta)Hafnium(Hf) ?” which translates to “Hey hafnium, did you know that Irridium got a bad itch after eating Marie Gold Platinum biscuits ?” And not to forget the first element of the 6th period (also the first element of the Lanthanides) –Lanthanum!,,,.. Please share to everyone ,,,,,, #sarvadev j#=
