"The Elements" is a song by musical humorist, mathematician and lecturer Tom Lehrer, which recites the names of all the chemical elements known at the time of writing, up to number 102, nobelium. It was written in 1959 and can be found on his albums Tom Lehrer in Concert, More of Tom Lehrer and An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer. The song is sung to the tune of the "Major-General's Song" from The Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert and Sullivan.[1]

The ordering of elements in the lyrics fits the meter of the song, and includes much alliteration, and thus has little or no relation to the ordering in the periodic table. This can be seen for example in the opening and closing lines:

Lehrer had been a mathematics student and lecturer at Harvard;[2][3] in the closing lines of the song, he pronounced "Harvard" and "discovered" in a parody of the non-rhotic Boston accent to make the two words rhyme, even though he did not normally speak with that accent. He accompanied himself on the piano while singing the song.

"The Elements" is sung to the tune of the "Major-General's Song" from The Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert and Sullivan.[1] Lehrer also drew inspiration from the song "Tschaikowsky (and Other Russians)", written by Ira Gershwin, which listed fifty Russian composers in a similar manner.[4]

In some live performances, after the song was finished, Lehrer joked that an earlier version, from Aristotle's time, lists only Earth, Air, Fire and Water, explaining that "life was much simpler in those days".[5]

"The Elements" has been featured in popular culture many times. In the episode "Ex-File" of NCIS, Timothy McGee and Abby Sciuto hum the song, which forms a key clue in their case. In The Big Bang Theory episode "The Pants Alternative", a drunk Sheldon Cooper starts to sing the song during his acceptance of an award from his university. In the 2006 episode of Gilmore Girls called "The Real Paul Anka", Luke Danes's daughter April and her classmates sing the song on the bus.[6] Daniel Radcliffe sang "The Elements" on The Graham Norton Show in 2010.[7] David Costabile, as Gale Boetticher, sang along to the song in "Something Beautiful", a 2018 episode of Better Call Saul.[8]

The lyrics to the song are the first 30 elements of the periodic table. These are the common elements that make up over 90% of the stuff we use on Earth. So these are the important elements that you should learn first.

You are probably wondering if you really need to memorize the periodic table for nursing. Most of you are probably done taking Biology, but it is very impressive to say that you have memorized the periodic table.

CHORUS

This is the Periodic Table

Noble gas is stable

Halogens and Alkali react aggressively

Each period will see new outer shells

While electrons are added moving to the right

Purpose: After watching a video that introduces them to the periodic table, students will answer questions that prompt them to identify general patterns in the table. A second set of videos focused on reactivity will encourage students to use their observations to identify trends and predict behavior in reactivity among metals and nonmetals.

The periodic table is being read like a book: Elements are listed starting from the top, far left element (hydrogen) across the whole row before going down to the next row far left. The first 12 elements are: H, He, Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F, Ne, Na and Mg.

The rightmost column (noble gases) contains elements that have a stable configuration of electrons for each energy level, or row on the periodic table. Nobel gases do not generally give or accept any electrons, so they are nearly chemically inert.

Alkali metals are in the leftmost column on the periodic table and halogens are to the left of the noble gases. Atoms in these columns react to become stable (have a lower energy state). Both the alkalies and the halogens react to become more like noble gases in terms of their number and configuration of electrons.

6. Given the long list of elements from the song, where do alkalies (metals) and halogens (nonmetals) always fall in relation to the closest noble gas in the list? How does the proximity to a noble gas affect how aggressively elements react? 

3. Based on your observations and analysis, explain the general reactivity trend of metals as you go across a row from left to right on the periodic table. What about the trend as you go down a column on the periodic table?

8. Atoms react to become more stable either losing or gaining (taking or sharing) electrons. Based on the proximity to a noble gas, do you think metals react by gaining or losing electrons? What about nonmetals?

Silicon is the same number of elements away from the noble gas preceding it, Neon (Ne), as it is from the noble gas following it, Argon (Ar). It can probably gain or lose electrons to become stable, because it needs to gain or lose the same number of electrons to have a stable number (configuration) of electrons.

This version has the elements in order, and even includes interjections that clarify how the periodic table itself is organized. Here is the version with lyrics, and here is a version that has been slowed down.

The Party Table: Here is what the guests saw when they arrived. I bought the balloon garland at Wal-Mart for $10, the table cloth here and the lab coats here. We even threw a few Periodic Table puns out on the table for a few laughs.

We have made an extensive theoretical exploration of gas-phase N-alkylamino cation affinities (NAAMCA), including amino cation affinities (AMCA) and N-dimethylamino cation affinities (NDMAMCA), of neutral main-group element hydrides of groups 15-17 and periods 2-4 in the periodic table by using the G2(+)M method. Some similarities and differences are found between NAAMCA and the corresponding alkyl cation affinities (ACA) of H(n)X. Our calculations show that the AMCA and NDMAMCA are systematically lower than the corresponding proton affinities (PA) for H(n)X. In general, there is no linear correlation between NAAMCA and PA of H(n)X. Instead, the correlations exist only within the central elements X in period 2, or periods 3-4, which is significantly different from the reasonable correlations between ACA and PA for all H(n)X. NAAMCA (H(n)X) are weaker than NAAMCA (H(n-1)X(-)) by more than 700 kJ/mol and generally stronger than ACA (H(n)X), with three exceptions: H2ONR2(+)(R = H, Me) and HFNH2(+). These new findings can be rationalized by the negative hyperconjugation and Pauli repulsion. ff782bc1db
