[edit] The Diatomic Elements

Symbol Element
F Fluorine
O Oxygen
N Nitrogen
Cl Chlorine
Br Bromide
I Iodine
S Sulfur
H Hydrogen
P Phosphorus

This is an easy way to remember all the diatomic elements, all at once (with the exclusion of the much rarer Astatine).

Another phrase that could used to remember these diatomic elements is "HOBrFINClS," pronounced Hobb-er-fink-els. Although it leaves out Phosphorus, one just needs to add a "P."

Another phrase used to remember diatomic elements is "BrINClHOF," pronounced Brink-ill-hoff. However, Phosphorus is still excluded.
