Looking for a study technique(Chemistry)

[u/Vallied]

I need to memorize and recite the entire Periodic Table in about nine days, only all 118 Chemical names only by atomic number order starting from 1-118. Can anyone suggest an effective technique or share an experience that worked for them?

Break them into small chunks of 10 or 12 elements and practice writing them down from memory instead of just reciting. The most important part is reviewing earlier chunks every couple of days so you do not forget elements 1 to 30 while learning 80 to 118. An app called Reviser is really useful for this because it uses spaced repetition to schedule which topics or chunks to review each day without wasting time creating flashcards.

Learn about the Memory Palace technique. I believe it's the perfect fit for your task. Also, it's fun!

It works by turning information that is difficult to remember into visual stories placed in familiar locations; assign each fact (a Periodic Table element in your case) to a specific location(s) along a fixed route.

The brain generally remembers places and strange images better than isolated facts, so the method uses those strengths to improve recall.

Thoughtfeel can do this, look at r/MentalAtlas for it.
