the elements of the periodic table!

There's hydrogen and helium

Then lithium, beryllium

Boron, carbon everywhere

Nitrogen all through the air

With oxygen so you can breathe

And fluorine for your pretty teeth

Neon to light up the signs

Sodium for salty times

Magnesium, aluminium, silicon

Phosphorus, then sulfur, chlorine and argon

Potassium, and calcium so you'll grow strong

Scandium, titanium, vanadium and chromium and manganese

This is the periodic table

Noble gas is stable

Halogens and alkali react agressively

Each period will see new outer shells

While electrons are added moving to the right

Iron is the 26th

Then cobalt, nickel coins you get

Copper, zinc and gallium

Germanium and arsenic

Selenium and bromine film

While krypton helps light up your room

Rubidium and strontium then yttrium, zirconium

Niobium, molybdenum, technetium

Ruthenium, rhodium, palladium

Silver-ware then cadmium and indium

Tin-cans, antimony then tellurium and iodine and xenon and then caesium and…

Barium is 56 and this is where the table splits

Where lanthanides have just begun

Lanthanum, cerium and praseodymium

Neodymium's next too

Promethium, then 62's

Samarium, europium, gadolinium and terbium

Dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium

Ytterbium, lutetium

Hafnium, tantalum, tungsten then we're on to

Rhenium, osmium and iridium

Platinum, gold to make you rich till you grow old

Mercury to tell you when it's really cold

Thallium and lead then bismuth for your tummy

Polonium, astatine would not be yummy

Radon, francium will last a little time

Radium then actinides at 89

This is the periodic table

Noble gas is stable

Halogens and alkali react agressively

Each period will see new outer shells

While electrons are to the right

Actinium, thorium, protactinium

Uranium, neptunium, plutonium

Americium, curium, berkelium

Californium, einsteinium, fermium

Mendelevium, nobelium, lawrencium

Rutherfordium, dubnium, seaborgium

Bohrium, hassium then meitnerium

Darmstadtium, roentgenium, copernicium

Ununtrium, flerovium

Ununpentium, livermorium

Ununseptium, ununoctium

And then we're done!
