Generally, to learn the periodic table, you will need to know the element's name, symbol, atomic number, and occasionally the atomic weight. These are all contained within the element's square on the table.  The element name is the word associated with the element. It usually appears in small letters under the symbol. Silver, for example, is the name of an element. The symbol is formed by one or two letters that represent the element. These are the big letters in the box. Ag is the symbol for silver. The atomic number is the number above the symbol. It tells you how many protons the element has. The periodic table is arranged numerically according to atomic number. The atomic number of silver is 47. The atomic weight or mass shows the average size of an atom. This is the number below the symbol. Silver's atomic weight, for example, is 107.868. Start with the first ten. Once you have mastered those, add in another ten. Keep reviewing the old elements even as you learn new ones. Start studying early so that you have time to memorize all 118 elements. The first ten elements of the periodic table have the atomic numbers 1-10. Wherever you go, it will go with you. It's advisable to print out more than one copy. Keep one on your desk, one in your backpack or purse, and one wherever else you might go. You can also use a digital version on a phone or tablet, but these may be more difficult to use during school or work. On one side, put the element symbol, such as Ag, S, or Cu, as well as the atomic number. On the other side, put the full name of the element, such as Silver, Sulphur, or Copper. Use the cards to test yourself. If you need to know the group that each element belongs to, you may want to add that to the flashcard as well. For example, you may write “Ne” on one side and “Neon, a noble gas” on the other. You could go by row, column, atomic weight, groups, or blocks. Find patterns that stick out to you and use those to break up the table into manageable parts.  The rows of the table are called periods. These run from one to seven. You might break it up by group, such as halogens, noble gases, or alkaline earth metals. Groups are organized vertically by the numbers running along the top of the table from one to fourteen. The colored portions of the table are called blocks. This may help you remember where the element is located on the table. The f-block, for example, contains the middle portion of the table. Instead of cramming for several hours, try studying whenever you have a few minutes to spare. This may be on the bus, during lunch, or while you’re in line. You can:  Go through note cards while you eat breakfast. Glance over the chart during a commercial break on TV. Chant the elements in order while running or exercising. Write out the elements while waiting for dinner to cook.
