Periodic Table Memory Pegs

Chemical elements flashcard deck for Anki, currently featuring all 118 of the periodic table, to help you memorize and associate name, atomic number, and symbol of elements.

How it works

Each element is associated with a picture, which is designed to remind you of the element's name, atomic number, and abbreviation.

The cards in the deck will question you with one of the following: Picture, Name, Symbol, or Number. The other side of the card will display all remaining data, as well as the element's position in the period table. There is also an explanation of how to use the pictures as memory pegs.

An example with fluorine:

Getting started

The latest release is available on AnkiWeb shared deck page.

If you want to use the work-in-progress version to the next release, you can download this git repository, checkout the develop branch, and execute the main.py script to build the deck (packages/periodic-table-memory-pegs.apkg), import it in Anki and you're ready to go!

Contribute!

Please feel free to contribute to this repo, here is what I would like to implement shortly:

  • memory pegs for the missing elements,
  • night mode,
  • spell checking,

any other suggestions are open to discussion: open a new issue to let me know!

Background

Legacy deck

Before existing on GitHub, this deck was created and shared on the AnkiWeb platform. Since the latter lacks contribution features, it has been suggested to me that I could release it here as a git repository. From now on my plan is to review comments and suggestions with care, and accept motivated pull requests.

Original source

This memory peg system was initiated by John P. Pratt. You can find a nice periodic table constructed with the memory pegs on the website. With their permission, I turned their work into a Anki deck.
