periodic table

@iTeachChem how should i go about learning the periodic table ? group wise period wise etc. just learn it by "reading it" or mnemonics? and is there a need to learn it? my teacher says you should know it by heart when you write mains

i mean learning it seems to help alot with ioc wouldn't it be convenient to have a periodic table in your mind to refer to

wiat what it should right? just remember memnomics for every block and use magic number to get atomic number

Imo learn it my group and period wise will just come to ur mind Bc usually if they ask order and stuff they prefer group wise

give it time. when you do p block automatically you will recall a lot of it not useful better to know exceptions in every group which will happen automatically once you go through the text over 2 years :)

but coachings do not do justice to students preparing for jee main or neet, their stuff is outdated even for advanced, in fact :D
