Chemistry

Do you know the elements?

Yes the elements, the ones on the Periodic table.

Can you say them all by name?

Do you know what its atomic mass is?

Could you tell me how many protons, neutrons, and electrons there are in this certain element?

Can you write all their symbols?

Could you give me the atomic number for this random element?

Me? I could tell you some of the answers, but not all, that’s for sure.

There's hydrogen, sodium, calcium, copper, silver, oxygen, and mercury.

The atom mass of hydrogen is rounded up to 1, gold is rounded up to 196, and carbon is rounded up to 12.

There are 3 protons, 4 neutrons, and 3 electrons in lithium. 

There are 5 protons, 4 neutrons, and 5 electrons in boron.

There are 30 protons, 35 neutrons, and 30 electrons in zinc.

Si is the symbol of silicon. 

He is the symbol of helium.

Al is the symbol of aluminum.

S is the symbol of sulfur.

The atomic numbers of hydrogen, helium, oxygen, calcium, nickel, copper, iodine, and gold are 1, 2, 8, 20, 28, 29, 53, and 79.

So there you have it folks I don't know all the answers and won't ever be able to memorize them ever.

Chemistry's tough and seems insane when it comes to the periodic table. Memorize this, this, and this says the teacher, and you’re like no, no, no that’s too much to memorize.  And yet you still try and fail, try and succeeded.  Maybe its safe to say that chemistry will definitely push you to the limits of just trying to remember everything that you are taught, and it will be a challenge to keep your grades up at a decent level as well.
