Atomic School presents an excellent introductory video on the periodic table that explains how there are 92 naturally occurring elements, one for each kind of atom, and how they are arranged into a table according to their relative weights:

And now, AsapSCIENCE presents 

The Elements of the Periodic Table

There's...

 Hydrogen and Helium 

Then Lithium, Beryllium 

Boron, Carbon everywhere 

Nitrogen all through the air 

With Oxygen so you can breathe 

And Fluorine for your pretty teeth 

Neon to light up the signs 

Sodium for salty times 

MAGNESIUM, Aluminum, Silicon, PHOSPHORUS 

Then Sulfur, Chlorine, and Argon 

POTASSIUM and Calcium so you'll grow strong 

SCANDIUM, Titanium, Vanadium 

and Chromium and MANGANESE 

This is the Periodic Table 

Noble Gas is stable 

Halogens and Alkali react aggressively

 Each period we'll see new outer shells 

While electrons are 

Added moving to the right 

 Iron is the 26 then Cobalt 

Nickel coins you get 

Copper, Zinc, and Gallium 

Germanium and Arsenic 

 Selenium and Bromine film 

While Krypton helps light up your room 

Rubidium and Strontium 

Then Yttrium, Zirconium 

NIOBIUM, Molybdenum, Technetium 

RUTHENIUM, Rhodium, Palladium 

SILVER-WARE then Cadmium and Indium 

TIN-CANS, Antimony then Tellurium and 

Iodine and Xenon and then Caesium and 

Barium is 56, and this 

Is where the table splits 

Where lanthanides have just begun 

Lanthanum, Cerium and Praseodymium 

 Neodymium's next to Promethium then 62 

Samarium, Europium 

Gadolinium, and Terbium 

Dysprosium, Holmium, Erbium

Thulium, Ytterbium, Lutetium 

HAFNIUM, Tantalum, Tungsten 

Then we're on to 

RHENIUM, Osmium, and Iridium 

PLATINUM, Gold to make 

You rich 'till you grow old 

MERCURY to tell you When it's really cold 

THALLIUM and Lead then 

Bismuth for your tummy 

POLONIUM, Astatine would not be yummy 

RADON, Francium will last a little time 

RADIUM then Actinides at 89 

This is the Periodic Table 

Noble Gas is stable 

Halogens and Alkali react aggressively 

Each period we'll see new outer shells 

While electrons are to the right 

Actinium, Thorium, Protactinium 

Uranium, Neptunium, Plutonium 

Americium, Curium 

Berkelium, Californium 

Einsteinium, Fermium, Mendelevium, Nobelium 

Lawrencium, Rutherfordium 

Dubnium, Seaborgium 

Bohrium, Hassium then 

Meinerium, Darmstadtium 

Roentgenium, Copernicium 

Ununtrium

 Flerovium 

Ununpentium 

Livermorium 

Ununseptium

Ununoctium 

And then we're done
