When telling us that we'd have to memorise portions of the periodic table for exams in uni, my professor also pointed out that there is not a single chemistry lab in the world that doesn't have a periodic table somewhere on the wall and testing us this way was a waste of time.
It's like 120 elements, who has the space to keep track of them all, especially the obscure ones?
Hydrogen and a bunch of other bullshit
Memorising the first 20 really does speed up organic chem though.
