Element Symbols Practice Quiz

Hey guys, how are you doing on memorizing the symbols of the elements? Here’s a great study aid from quizlet.com. In the bottom right corner, click on “Choose a Study Mode” and you can change the layout and study different ways. If you already know them, try “Learn.” If you are just beginning to learn the symbols, I’d try “Scatter,” then go to quizlet.com (or click on the bottom left where it says “Study these flash cards”) and try “Space and Race.” I LOVE that game. It really puts your brain in gear and is great practice!

BTW – There’s an app for that! Quizlet has an app, also Oresome Elements and Mahjong Chem are good apps for learning the symbols of the elements. And I’ll bet if you look, you can also find other apps to help you learn the elements.

Good luck learning them – and don’t forget, the elements you have to know are the elements with these atomic numbers: 1 – 58, 60, 61, 74, 76 – 95.
