Online Chemistry Notes: The Periodic Table

One of the first things you will have to do on your quest for mastering chemistry is memorize most of the elements on the periodic table!!!(oh no!) 

It's okay though, because after a certain amount of exposure to chemistry it just becomes natural. I have composed a complete table below for you to use as a resource. One column contains the chemical symbol of an element, and the other has it's name. Here it is:

H	Hydrogen	Fe	Iron	Te	Tellurium	Ir	Iridium
He	Helium	Co	Cobalt	I	Iodine	Pt	Platinum
Li	Lithium	Ni	Nickel	Xe	Xenon	Au	Gold
Be	Berylium	Cu	Copper	Cs	Cesium	Hg	Mercury
B	Boron	Zn	Zinc	Ba	Barium	Tl	Thallium
C	Carbon	Ga	Gallium	La	Lanthanum	Pb	Lead
N	Nitrogen	Ge	Germanium	Ce	Cerium	Bi	Bismuth
O	Oxygen	As	Arsenic	Pr	Praseodymium	Po	Polonium
F	Fluorine	Se	Selenium	Nd	Neodymium	At	Astatine
Ne	Neon	Br	Bromine	Pm	Promethium	Rn	Radon
Na	Sodium	Kr	Krypton	Sm	Samarium	Fr	Francium
Mg	Magnesium	Rb	Rubidium	Eu	Europium	Ra	Radium
Al	Aluminum	Sr	Strontium	Gd	Gadolinium	Ac	Actinium
Si	Silicon	Y	Yttrium	Tb	Terbium	Th	Thorium
P	Phosphorus	Zr	Zirconium	Dy	Dysprosium	Pa	Protactinium
S	Sulfur	Nb	Niobium	Ho	Holmium	U	Uranium
Cl	Chlorine	Mo	Molybdenum	Er	Erbium	Np	Neptunium
Ar	Argon	Tc	Technitium	Tm	Thulium	Pu	Plutonium
K	Potassium	Ru	Ruthenium	Yb	Ytterbium	Am	Americium
Ca	Calcium	Rh	Rhodium	Lu	Lutetium	Cm	Curium
Sc	Scandium	Pd	Palladium	Hf	Hafnium	Bk	Berkelium
Ti	Titanium	Ag	Silver	Ta	Tantalum	Cf	Californium
V	Vanadium	Cd	Cadmium	W	Tungsten	Es	Einsteinium
Cr	Chromium	In	Indium	Re	Rhenium	Fm	Fermium
Mn	Manganese	Sn	Tin	Os	Osmium	Md	Mendelevium
		Sb	Antimony			No	Nobelium
						Lr	Lawrencium
						Rf	Rutherfordium
						Db	Dubnium
						Sg	Seaborgium

The Good news is you DONT have to memorize ALL of them. Here is a list of the common symbols, to get you started, and even for this list you can focus on the blue symbols in the begining of the course:

H, He, Li, B, C, N, O, F, Ne, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Ar, K, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ne, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, As, Se, Br, Kr, Rb, Sr, Mo, Pd, Ag, Cd, Sn, Sb, I, Xe, Cs, Ba, Pt, Au, Hg, Pb, Po, Rn, Fr, Ra, U, Pu

That's not so bad right?
