 The third period elements
Nagging maggie always sips claret.
Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Ar
 
 The order of atomic orbitals
go higher.
Spin pairs don?t form -
The Pauli selection rule states that two electrons of like spin may not be present in any orbital if they have
the same set of quantum numbers. Since the electronic orbitals in atoms are listed by the letters s, p, d, f,
g, h in order of ascending energy, this mnemonic acts as a useful remainder.
 
 The noble gases
He neatly arranges kremlin executive ranks.
Helium/neon/argon/krypton/xenon/radon
 
 Nucleotides of DNA
In DNA there are four nucleotides (cytosine, thymine, adenine, guanine) divided into two classes (pyrimidines
and purines). The easiest way to remember which class they belong to is that the pyrimidines contain the letter y (cytosine and thymine)
 
 The molecular shape of fructose and glucose
There are two simple sugars (monosaccharides) - fructose and glucose - which combine in a specific way
to form sucrose. Remember the molecular shape of fructose has five carbons (letter f starts both words) and
hexagon is the shape of glucose (letter g in both words).
 
 The order of hardness (Mohs? scale of hardness)
Tall gyroscopes can fly apart, orbiting quickly to complete disintegration or,
Those girls can fly and other queer things can do.
Talc, gypsum or rock salt, calcite, fluorite, apatite, orthaclase, quartz, topaz, corundum, diamond.
 
 The (alpha, omega) dicarboxylic acids from C2-C10
Oh my, such good apple pie, sweet as sugar
Oxalic, malonic, succinic, glutaric, adipic, pimelic, suberic, azelaic, sebacic
 

The ten essential amino acids
These ten valuable amino acids have long preserved life in man.
Threonine/Tryptophan/Valine/Argentine/Histidine/Lysine/Phenylalanine/Leucine/Isoleucine/Methionine.
 
 The elements in their correct order in the first three periods of the table
(Hydrogen being omitted and potassium included).
Here lies Benjamin bold cry not old friend needlessly.
Nature magnifies all simple people sometimes, clots and kings.
Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium,
aluminium, silicon, phosphorus, sulphur, chlorine, argon, potassium (H, He, Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F, Ne, Na,
Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Al, K)
