Mnemonic

A mnemonic (attributed to Richard Feynman)[citation needed] for the elements of Period 3 (more precisely, starting from Neon, the last element of Period 2, and ending at Chlorine, the second-to-last element of Period 3) is:

"Nena, m'gal, sips chlorine"

(i.e., Ne-Na Mg-Al Si-P-S Chlorine).
