And now, AsapSCEINCE presents, the elements of the periodic table.

There's hydrogen and helium
Then lithium, beryllium
Boron, carbon everywhere
Nitrogen all through the air

With oxygen so you can breathe
And fluorine for your pretty teeth
Neon to light up the signs
Sodium for salty times

Magnesium
Aluminium, silicon
Phosphorus
Then sulfur, chlorine and srgon

Potassium
And calcium so you'll grow strong
Scandium
Titanium, vanadium, and chromium, and manganese

This is
The Periodic Table
Noble Gases stable
Halogens and Alkali react aggressively

Each period will see
New outer shells
While electrons are added
Moving to the right

Iron is the 26th
Then cobalt, nickel coins you get
Copper, zinc and gallium
Germanium and arsenic

Selenium and bromine film
While krypton helps light up your room
Rubidium and strontium
Then yttrium, zirconium

Niobium
Molybdenum, technetium
Ruthenium
Rhodium, palladium

Silverware
Then cadmium and indium
Tin cans
Antimony, then tellurium, and iodine, and xenon, and then cesium and then...

Barium is 56
And this is where the table splits
Where Lanthanides have just begun
Lanthanum, cerium and praseodymium

Neodymium's next
To promethium, then 62's
Samarium, europium, gadolinium and terbium
Dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, lutetium

Hafnium
Tantalum, tungsten then we're on to
Rhenium
Osmium, and iridium

Platinum
Gold to make you rich 'till you grow old
Mercury
To tell you when it's really cold

Thallium
And lead, then bismuth for your tummy
Polonium
Astatine would not be yummy

Radon
Francium will last a little time
Radium
Then Actinides at 89

This is
The Periodic Table
Noble Gases stable
Halogens and Alkali react aggressively

Each period will see
New outer shells
While electrons are added
Moving to the right

Actinium
Thorium, protactinium
Uranium
Neptunium, Plutonium

Americium, curium, berkelium
Californium, einsteinium, fermium
Mendelevium, nobelium, lawrencium
Rutherfordium, dubnium, seaborgium
Bohrium, hassium, then meitnerium,
Darmstadtium, roentgenium, copernicium

Ununtrium, flerovium
Ununpentium, livermorium
Ununseptium, ununoctium
And then we're done!
