"The Elements" -Tom Lehrer

Like it? My science teacher sung it in school for us, we were all "Whoa," wide-eyed with our jaws on the floor, head spinning....

^_^

EDIT: Added Lyrics. See below ^_^

There’s antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium,
And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium
And nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium,
And iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium,
Europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium
And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium
And gold, protactinium and indium and gallium
And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium.

There’s yttrium, ytterbium, actinium, rubidium
And boron, gadolinium, niobium, iridium
And strontium and silicon and silver and samarium,
And bismuth, bromine, lithium, beryllium and barium.

There’s holmium and helium and hafnium and erbium
And phosphorous and francium and fluorine and terbium
And manganese and mercury, molybdinum, magnesium,
Dysprosium and scandium and cerium and cesium
And lead, praseodymium, and platinum, plutonium,
Palladium, promethium, potassium, polonium,
Tantalum, technetium, titanium, tellurium,
And cadmium and calcium and chromium and curium.

There’s sulfur, californium and fermium, berkelium
And also mendelevium, einsteinium and nobelium
And argon, krypton, neon, radon, xenon, zinc and rhodium
And chlorine, carbon, cobalt, copper,
Tungsten, tin and sodium.

These are the only ones of which the news has come to Harvard,
And there may be many others but they haven’t been discovered.

Wow it'll take a while to learn those XD

Ya, my Core Phys. teacher said if we memorized it, hed give us extra credit, but it was last year, and the elements are useless in Biology.

That is an amazing tounge.

[iFlyyyy]

lmao I hae at least one verse memorized.

Hmm, heard it b4. Anyways the element symbols are really easy to remember.
Just remember exceptions like K - Potassium, Na - Sodium, Fe - Iron (Ferrium), Hg - Mercury. W - Tungsten

[iFlyyyy]

Yup. Those are easy though. I think Tungsten is a funny name ^_^ And the only ones I mix up are Magnesium's and Maganese's symbols, but Mg=Magnesium (I think, that's off the top of my head).

-+-Win32##Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0##1280 × 1024##13-+-

[Admin]

Mg and Mn, yeah btw it's Manganese. For metals the symbol is usually the first letter followed by the 2nd consonant unless there's another element with that symbol, then they take it to the next consonant.

[iFlyyyy]

Oh. Thanks ^_^ That cleared it up. And yeah, I knew it was Manganese (I thought I typed it like that, but must've been a typo >.<)

I asked my dad if he memorized the periodic elemnt table.
His response:
"Don't ever ask me that again..."
