Answer:

I personally have a method for learning stuff like this.

Try going one at a time, and ever once in awhile. Like memorize the first element, then the one next to it [in whichever order you please]

Ex: memorizing 1-10

1.. 1,2.. 1,2,3.. 1,2,3,4..

And then repeat that row until you can recite it almost without hesitation, then move onto another line.

This works for both placement memorization and element name.

Answer:

- breaking it down into sections

-learn the element song

-use colors to learn the element groups

Step-by-step explanation:

what also may help which is time-consuming is writing it out over and over if not I would prefer to learn the song it may seem childish a little but it will help in the long run.
