A similar mnemonic technique is to create an intricate mental image that helps you visualize a subset of chemical elements—also known as a memory palace. An easy way to build a memory palace is to think about a place that you’re familiar with, like your bedroom or office. From there, you need to come up with a sequence of locations in the place that you’ve chosen, such as objects that you can easily identify in your bedroom. The idea is to assign the different things that you want to remember to the locations within your memory palace, so that you can remember them whenever you mentally go back to your palace. You can also use a specific journey as the starting point for your memory palace.

You can apply this technique to the periodic table. For example, the very first element of the table, hydrogen, can be associated to things such as water, the sun, or the word hydrant. Then, you can simply assign any of these things to of the locations of your palace. Ideally, you want to create a very detailed memory palace, where the things you’re trying to memorize interact with each other. Doing so will help you remember the rest of your memory palace more easily.
