Tricks

[gwiyomi17]

Can someone give me tricks in memorizing activity series of the elements or the solubility chart?

 

 

Or any simple tricks that is very interesting about science or maths that could help me in the future

 

I would be thankful if someone can give me any tricks.

When you google such things, the word "mnemonic" is the more technical word for "tricks" and may help to produce better results.

 

For example, mnemonic activity series elements.

 

Here's a list of chemistry mnemonics.

 

mnemonic

( "neh-MON-ik")

n.

A device, such as a formula or rhyme, used as an aid in remembering.

understanding is the best trick.

 

knowing and understanding are two different elements.

Note that these rules aren't always clear cut. My professor had some disagreements with the textbook.

Leo is a lion at the zoo.

 

Leo goes ger (sounds like GRRRR as in growl)

 

loss of electrons is oxidation gain of electrons is reduction

Also, OIL RIG.

 

Oxidation Is Loss, Reduction Is Gain (of electrons)

 

 

I also find when trying to remember several big numbers, e.g. 1254, 1435, 8345.

 

Just reading them as twelve fifty-four, fourteen thirty-five and eighty-three forty-five

 

is a lot easier than,

 

one thousand two hundred and fifty-four etc.
