Memorizing can be much painless than you think it is if you do it the right way. Spending countless hours trying to imprint the elements in periodic table to your mind through repetitive writing and reading is not an effective solution for people without the special ability to memorize things. In this article I want to show a short method by which you can Memorize the first 10 elements of the periodic table very easily. Knowing this will help boost your foundation of Chemistry and give you confidence as you learn more sub-topics in chemistry.

The secret to easy learning is to feed facts to the brain the way it likes. For example it may be hard to memorize the year 1945. But it is easy to remember it if you think of it as time in 24 hours format ( which is 7.45 pm).

Similarly every fact can be converted to something easily understood by our brain. Now let’s jump in to our chemistry challenge and use this trick to learn the 10 elements effortlessly

Remember this Key Spell :

Henry Hester Likes Beer But CanNot Obtain Food Now

  1. Henry — Hydrogen ( The common ‘y’ helps in avoiding mixing it for Helium)
  2. Hester — Helium
  3. Likes — Lithium
  4. Beer — Beryllium (Be) ( Both start with ‘Be’, helps to avoid mixing it with Boron)
  5. But — Boron
  6. Can — Carbon
  7. Not — Nitrogen
  8. Obtain — Oxygen
  9. Food — Fluorine
  10. Now — Neon

You see imagining the Key Spell very easy and it doesn’t feel like learning at all. Yet you have already learned all the 10 elements once you have imagined a man named Henry Hester having drinking lots of beer until goes broke and doesn’t have money even to buy food.
