In this video I’m going to hack your brain and make you memorize the four new chemical
elements, along with the final 8 elements of the periodic table.
To memorize these 8 elements, I’m going to activate your visual memory by drawing
some illustrations and telling you a crazy story to link them all together.
When you imagine each picture in your mind, you’ll be amazed how easily you recall everything.
The story’s going to start in a weird place, because this is the final video from the complete
series covering all 118 elements.

up for it there.
Now the 111th element is Roentgenium.
We’re going to use ‘rent gen’ to remember that.
From the previous part of the story for the 110th element, you enter a large sports stadium.
It’s absolutely huge, but inside is a single person – an army general.
Gen for short.
And the entire stadium has been rented out to him.
Rent gen.
“Rent gen” will remind you of the 111th element, Roentgenium.
The 111th element is Roentgenium.
We’ll go with “rent gen”.
You push through the darned curtain covering the entrance and go inside the stadium.
It’s a huge stadium but inside is just a lone person – an army general.
Gen for short.
And the entire stadium has been rented out to him.
Rent gen.
“Rent gen” will remind you of the 111th element, Roentgenium.
Element number 112 is Copernicium, named after Copernicus.
“Copper knees” will be your image this time.
You see the general is the only person in the entire stadium and you walk closer.
You see he’s got strange looking knees.
They’re made of copper.
They’re both reddish copper colored and when he walks, his knees knock against each
other and make a clanging metallic sound.
Picture those copper knees and you’ll recall the 112th element, Copernicium.
Next is Nihonium, the 113th element.
Let’s use ‘knee honing’.
The general with copper knees walks over to a stone wheel that’s used for honing knives
to make them really sharp.
He lifts up a knee and begins honing it on the stone wheel.
He’s doing some knee honing on his copper knees, maybe he wants to make them sharp.
Imagine the general as he does that knee honing and you’ll remember Nihonium, the 113th
element.
Flerovium is the 114th element, so this time you’ll picture a fluoro V. Imagine a large
letter V flies down out of the sky and lands on the stone wheel, interrupting the general.
The V is a bright fluoro pink color, and has a couple of tiny wings.
The fluoro V sits on the stone wheel and gently flashes bright pink.
Now, when you imagine that fluoro V you’ll think of the 114th element Flerovium.
The 115th element is Moscovium, named after the Russian city Moscow.
Picture a cow covered in green moss walks up and takes a bite out of the fluoro V, casually
munching away as if it was a mouthful of grass.
The cow is covered in slimy green moss all over its body – it’s a moss cow.
Think of this moss cow taking a bite out of the fluoro V and you’ll know that after
Flerovium comes Moscovium, the 115th element.
The next element is Livermorium, number 116.
As the moss cow is taking bites out of the fluoro V, a liver with arms and legs joins
it and takes some small bites as well.
The moss cow quickly pushes it away, but the liver holds out an empty plate and asks for
more.
Picture the liver asking for more – liver more – and you’ll remember the 116th element,
Livermorium.
Moving right along to element 117 – Tennessine.
The liver is suddenly grabbed by a tenor, a type of male opera singer, who walks onto
stage in the middle of a scene with other tenors.
It’s a tenor scene, a scene in the opera featuring tenors.
The tenor starts singing to the liver at the top of his wonderful voice.
Clearly imagine that opera scene of tenors – a tenor scene – and that will link in
your mind to the 117th element, Tennessine.
And finally we’re up to the 118th element, Oganesson.
On stage, some of the scenery pulls back to reveal a large nest, and sitting in the middle
of the nest is an ogre.
It’s an ogre nest.
The ogre is big and green and far from attractive, and I have no idea what he’s doing sitting
in a nest.
Regardless, create a clear mental image of that ogre nest, and you’ll be prompted to
recall the 118th element – Oganesson.
And there you go, you’ve just memorized the names of the final 8 chemical elements,
including the four newest additions.
How would you like to be able to remember anything as easily as this?
I’m talking about numbers, formulas, dates, essays, lists of words, anything.
