Electron Shells To remember SPDF Some
People Don't F***
"sticky paint dries fast"
For the energy levels of electrons.
I have a relatively good one (albeit fairly useless) for remembering the order that the nuclear shells get filled up as you add more nucleons to the nucleus:
spuds if pug dish of pig
If you write it down and then cross out all of the vowels except for the final 'i' you get
spdsfpgdshfpig
and since you are worying about nuclear levels, you already know the spectroscopic notation:
spdfghi s=0, p=1, ... so if you start numbering above these letters how many times the letter has occured, you get the principal quantum number, and angular momentum of the energy states in the order that they are filled:

(Remember that in nuclear shells the angular momentum can be greater than the principal quantum number...)
