There’s

Hydrogen and helium
Lithium, beryllium
Boron, carbon, nitrogen,
Number eight is oxygen.

Fluorine neon sodium
Magnesium aluminum
Silicon and phosphorus
Sulfur, chlorine, argon gas

Potassium and calcium
Scandium, titanium
Vanadium and chromium
Manganese and then Iron.

Cobalt Nickel Copper Zinc
Gallium Germanium Arsenic
Selenium Bromine and Krypton
And then there is rubidium
And Strontium, yttrium
Zirconium, niobium
Molybdenum, technetium
Ruthernium, rhodium

Palladium
silver and then cadmium
Indium and also tin
Antimony tellurium

Iodine zenon cesium
Barium and lanthanum
Serium Prasyodimium
Neodimium promethium

Samarium europium
Gadolinium and terbium
Dysprosium and holmium
And Erbium and thulium

Ytterbium lutetium
And Hafnium and tantalum
Tungsten rhenium osmium
Bismuth and polonium

Astatine radon and francium
Radium plutonium
Americium and curium
Berkelium, californium

Einsteinium and fermium
Mendelevium nobelium
Lawrencium rutherfordium
Dubnium seaborgium
Ghorium and hassium
Meitnerium darmstadtium
Then ununium through ununcotium

Group 1 is alkali metals
Group 2 is alkai earth metals
Group 3 through 12 transition metals
Group 17 is halogens
Group 18 noble gasses
Metalloids on diagonal that start at #5
58 through 71 and 90 through 108 are rare earth metals in their own category
Lanthenides on top, actinides on bottom
Other metals and non-metals are the rest.

Noble gasses, H, He, N, O, F, Cl are gas
Ga, Br, Cs, Hg, Fr liquid at room temp
Tc, Pm, Np on up are synthetic
And all the other elements are solids

Mendeleev in 1869
Arranged by atomic number fine
