The Periodic Table of Elements__Mnemonic

 The Periodic Table of Elements.



The heart and soul of chemistry, without which any study in  Chemistry will become enormously tedious... It's just irony that learning this same periodic table is considered as a herculean and tedious task by many students. "Why do we need to learn a whole new language?" is the cribbing and moaning of most high schoolers!  Well say no more!!

Just remember " Hi, Hello Listen  BBC News on Friday Night!" 

Hmm... Now, I know you are wondering how listening to BBC news is going to solve your problem. Don't worry I am not asking you to sacrifice your Friday nights, because in actuality that sentence is a mneumonic! 

(To all the ones who are wondering what a MNEUMONIC is - It is a small phrase or sentence, whose first letters help in associating and remembering a concept)

 In this Mneumonic, we will be considering the symbols of the elements :-


Name of the element - Symbol - Mnemonic

Hydrogen - H - Hi

Helium - He - Hello

Lithium - Li - Listen

Berylium - Be - B

Boron - B - B

Carbon - C - C

Nitrogen - N - News

Oxygen  - O On

Fluorine - F - Friday

Neon - Ne - Night

So, that covers the first 10 elements of the Periodic table.

For the next 10 " Na Maango Allah Se Pepsi ,Soda ,Cola Aur Kaju Catli"

( ना माँगो अल्लाह से पेप्सी, सोड़ा, कोला और काजू कतली -- for the ones who know Hindi and to the people who don't know Hindi - The mnemonic basically means Don't ask Allah for Pepsi Soda Cola and Cashew Katli)


Sodium -  Na - Na

Magnesium - Mg - Maango

Aluminium - Al - Allah

Silicon - Si - Si (se)

Phosphorous - P - Pepsi

Sulphur - S - Soda

Chlorine - Cl - Cola

Argon - Ar - Aur

Pottasium - K- Kaju

Calcium - Ca - Catli (Katli)

As crazy as it might sound , listening to BBC News while eating Kaju Katli is actually going to help you in your Chemistry exam! 🤣😬

Nationalism in India __Important Dates and Events

 The feeling of nationalism spread in Europe and deeply affected European history as much as it did affect our History textbooks and report cards, but the influence it had on this country, almost 6,467 km away, will surely make you gape in awe. And 'this' country which we are talking about is Our beloved 'India'. In this History Blog, we will be going through all the important dates and events mentioned in the chapter "Nationalism In India", helping us to brush up through all the vital concepts!  (If you haven't read the Nationalism in Europe blogs  Click here   or  here! )  So, Let's start  1) 1913 - 1918 - Prices doubling leading to hardships for common people 2) 1918 - 19 and 1920-21 - Crop failure - famine 3) January 1915 - Gandhi returned to India 4) 1916 - Champaran in Bihar - Peasants against plantation  5) 1917 - Kheda, Gujarat - Peasants protested against Revenue 6) 1918 - Ahmedabad - Cotton Mill workers protest 7) 1919 - Rowlatt A...

Why is -v/u = Magnification of Spherical Mirror? ____Proof of Magnification formula

Magnification of mirror = Most high schoolers, know this formula byheart. Seeing this formula might take you back to your memories of all the  panic attacks you had just before the board exams trying to remember this formula amongst the various other concepts learnt in the Light - Reflection and Refraction chapter (Yes, been there  😌)   This formula was and is  very important, both for the boards and real life applications of optical physics. So we all know this formula byheart , Which is, we just know that m = -v/u, but do you know why they are equal?  But, first to all those who are wondering What is Magnification!? Magnification is the ratio of the height of the image and height of the object, basically telling us how large or small the image is from the object The common formula this is denoted by is - height of image / height of object  so this is (somehow) related to -v/u ... In this blog we will dive deeper into this "somehow"  First let u...
