<p>Let's compile a list of mnemonics(Mnemonic</a> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) for the SAT Chem! ( you know like Roy G. Biv, which by the way is in increasing wavelength order ;) though I'm not sure if you need to know that for chem...)</p>
<p>If you know any that your chem teacher told you or someone on yahoo answers posted, please help us out here! </p>
<p>or </p>
<p>Request something and hopefully someone will help out!</p>

<p>Imagine all of the diatomic elements highlighted on the periodic table. They should make a seven shape starting with atom number 7.</p>
<p>FONClBrISCH: Nonmetals in order of descending electronegativity.</p>
<p>Alternate mnemonic paths to:</p>
<p>The order of electronegativity for the nonmetals is

<p>^I just say that phoenetically. Fon-kul-bri-sch.</p>
<p>A different version for that is pronounced HOFBRINCL.</p>
<p>^What’s that supposed to represent? Order of electroneg? Atomic radius?</p>
<p>looks like atomic radius.</p>
