So when you are later in a situation outside of Anki where you are trying to recall the number of Protactinium, what will most likely happen is you will think of a protractor measuring an angle. The problem with this is that "91" could just as easily be any other number. To memorize the atomic number of Protactinium, you are to imagine a protractor measuring 91 degrees. I'll give some examples to explain what I mean. No offense to anybody who found this deck helpful, but. I really don't like to leave negative reviews like this, especially on things that had so much effort put into them, but I really have to be honest here. I'll be giving this deck a go myself but I'll be almost certainly using the major system for the numbers, hooking them onto the visual pegs this generous author has provided. Also, this has the benefit that I can recall the number 53s peg easily already so going backwards from number to element is quite easy too. Just from reading the Wikipedia article I'm unlikely to forget the atomic number for Iodine because I already know that "Lime" can represent 53 in the major system and the image of it squirting in my eye is a particularly memorable one. It would be quite a big improvement to include those, giving the double benefit to all users of this deck that they would also gain a general purpose mnemonic peg system for numbers which is widely applicable outside of this specific use.Ĭoupled with the effort this author has gone to in making meaningful pictures of the elements that relate back to their nature, the weakness of the numerical linkages is easily fixed by relating those images to the already well established system for making numerical memory pegs.

The "Mnemonic major system" Wikipedia article explains how to link number pegs using a very widely used system for numbers, and it even has periodic table examples. I haven't even downloaded this deck but want to make a suggestion based on the negative reviews. If you have web design (HTML and CSS) skills and want to contribute, help is warmly welcomed. Currently, the cards displayed by this deck work on all devices (smartphone, tablets, computers) but may not look great on some of them. Wanted! Help for a redesign and user feedback. If you want to be notified when this deck is updated, you can subscribe to GitHub's atom feed for this project: maybe the easiest way to do so is use a atom-to-email service like feedrabbit. You can comment on this page, but be aware that I no not receive notifications from AnkiWeb. Suggestions are welcome: please open an issue whether it is to correct spelling, propose a redesign, or add a new memory peg. `Card 5` is the type of all cards asking for the position of elements.įront: Back: Contribute! The deck is maintained on GitHub.



Then search for `card:"Card 5"`, select all 118 cards, and suspend them. Open Anki and go in the Card Browser/Card Navigator. Users may want to disable the cards asking which element is at a given position in the table. There is also an explanation of how to use the pictures as memory pegs.ĭisabling the Position cards: Learning the position of elements in the table is very challenging. The other side of the card will display all remaining data. The cards in the deck will question you with one of the following: Picture, Name, Symbol, Number, or Position.
