ODE TO THE TRENDS
Periodic Table Rhyme
P-E-R-I-O-D-I-C
Its made of what makes up you and me
but patterns will arise i think you’ll find
so why not come along for the ride
First we go diagonal up and right
makes all the electrons attract nice and tight
if you go down and left
it just might lead to electron theft
Electro
Negativity and Affinity
Along with
Ionization
Energy
all go one way up and right
the atomic radius
fights the opposite fight
it gets all small when you go that way
because the electrons are as close as they can stay
If we go all to the right
you'll see some gasses we use in lights
they don't react very well you see
very stable, got roots like a tree
they help us label configurations all day
but lets move on if I may
Now if you look at the bottom you'll see
elements quite hazardous to you and me
because of the radioactivity
some can only be made in a lab
switching round particles that they can grab
Electro
Negativity and Affinity
Along with
Ionization
Energy
all go one way up and right
the atomic radius
fights the opposite fight
it gets all small when you go that way
because the electrons are as close as they can stay
That all the atomic numbers
go in a line
if they didn't
they would be rather hard to find
Now that concludes
my little table rhythm
but theres even more to learn
if you have the time
