Sing the names of the elements to the tune of “London Bridge is Falling Down.”

 

Mnemonic Device:

  • Sing the names of the elements to the tune of “London Bridge is Falling Down.”

Explanation: This works pretty well (including rhyming at the end of the phrases) up to about Sb. The Actinides don’t work so well, but this technique helps me remember them up to Bi, which includes most of the geologically common elements.
