When it comes to Chemistry, the periodic table is fundamental & very important that every science student must be aware of and memorize very well. Because without knowing the elements, you’re missing out on the foundation required to learn the rest of what chemistry has to offer.
Its not easy for all to memorize all the elements of the periodic table. You must know how to memorize the periodic table and its elements. In this blog, we are presenting short trick & tips that will help you to memories all elements as following-

Detailed Periodic Table - Elements divided into Blocks
Periodic Table is very important chapter. Every year 2-3 questions are asked from this topic in CBSE, IIT JEE, IIT JAM, NEET and other Science Exams.
Periodic Table Quick Facts (Mendeleev Periodic Table)
Dmitri Mendeleev, a Russian chemist, is considered the "father" of the periodic table. The table is also known as Mendeleev Periodic Table.
The Periodic Table consists of names, symbols, atomic numbers, and atomic weight of the element.
The table is arranged in two manners that, elements within each vertical column are similar or have something in common are called Groups where elements in one period have a same number of electron shells forms.
Metals reside on the left side of the table, while non-metals reside on the right.
There are 118 confirmed elements in the periodic table. Among those, 90 elements can be found in nature, others are man-made.

What are the Acronyms and Acrostics??
Acronyms and acrostics are ‘first letter Mnemonics’.
Acronyms chunk words together, which is good (even if they are nonsense), and acrostics give more meaning to the sentence. Here is the example which helps you to understand:
United States of America is often written as the USA. That’s an acronym.
Now! Let’s start some fun, interesting mnemonics in Hindi and English to memorize elements along each group or period.
However, you don’t need to memorize the synthetic elements, which are the elements from atomic numbers 104 to 118.

Now, take a tour of all the blocks one by one in detail. To know, scroll the blog
Detailed Periodic Table - Elements divided into Blocks
The elements in the periodic table are divided into major four-block according to the number of electrons in the last shell. Let's have a look at detailed information for elements of each block as following-
s-block Periodic Table Elements
If the periodic table were a city, the s-block would be a small neighborhood filled with similar houses and properties. The s-block is located to the far left and consists of two groups.
Group 1 is known as Alkali Metals. It includes Lithium (Li), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Rubidium (Ru), Caesium (Cs), and Francium (Fr).
To memorize this group, we use a sentence –
HighlyNaive Kids Rub Cat’s Fur
HaLiNa K Rb Csey Fryad
Group 2 is known as Alkaline Earth Metals. It includes Beryllium (Be), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Strontium (Sr), Barium (Br), and Radium (Ra).
Mnemonic for Group 2:
