The elements Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Fluorine, Oxygen, Iodine, Chlorine, and Bromine are always found as diatomic molecules:
- HNFOIClBr
- HONClFIBr (say HONKLE-fibber)
- BrINClHOF (say Brinckle-hoff)
- Have No Fear Of Ice Cold Beer
- Never Have Fear Of Ice Cold Beer
- I Have No Bright Or Clever Friends
- I Bring Clay For Our New House
- ClIF H Bron
- HOFBrINCl Twins (twins because they exist in pairs)
- There are seven such elements. The first one is the first element Hydrogen; the rest form a 7 on the periodic table: N, O, F across, then going down Cl, Br, I.

Oxidation and reduction
- Oxidation Is Losing Electrons, Reduction Is Gaining Electrons: OIL RIG
- Electron Loss Means Oxidation: ELMO
- Losing Electrons Oxidation, Gaining Electrons Reduction: LEO the lion. GER! or LEO says GER
Oxidation and reduction in the electrodes of an electrochemical cell:
- Oxidation takes place at the anode (both start with vowels) reduction takes place at the cathode (both start with consonants).
- REDuction at CAThode: RED CAT
- ANode for OXidation: AN OX
- Anode for Oxidation: Adults Only
- Reduction at Cathode: Roman Catholic
- At the AN'ode Oxidation Is Gain; and Reduction Is Loss at the CAThoed: AN OIL RIG CAT
The elements that form
hydrogen bonds when bonded to hydrogren are
Fluorine
Oxygen
Nitrogen:
- Hydrogen is FON! (fun)
- I think about hydrogen bonds OFN (often)
Cations are positive, while anions are negative:
- The letter t in cation looks like a positive plus sign +: ca+ion
- Cations are pawsitive.
- An ANION is A Negative ION.
- Be POSITIVE about your CATs
Metals form cations in ionic reactions
