You are never going to menstruate just by reading the periodic table.

This shtick is getting old so from here on out I will no longer be responding to it.

This was a serious question by the way. I want to know how to read it.

Have you taken high school chemistry? They explain what all the numbers and symbols mean.

You might just ask Google How2 - Also it takes very little tyme to learn and understand how2
Have you considered a basic course in chemistry. Considering how you are planning on using Chemistry to modify ur chemistry.

Do you mean you need a list of the abbreviations for all of the elements?

No, I never did, which is why I don't know shit about chemistry.

@807,756 (Syntax)
Chemistry plays a role in biology? Hormone replacement therapy seemed like a more biology thing since it dealt with, well, hormones.

@previous (kook !!OPZbEQMT1)
Just how to read it and why it's arranged the way it is.

I am just genuinely stunned. There are free basic courses on the web. You might want to brush up on some things.

Educate yourself! Your alma mater offers a full intro to chemistry course online free! http://www.vvc.edu/academic/chemistry/Chem100-hybrid.shtml

I was already thinking of doing that. It might be one of the courses I take near the end of my time there where I completed all of my requirements that gives wiggle room for electives.

No I mean all the video lectures, lecture notes, etc, are all online available for you right now. You don't even have to be a VVC student to do it.

@OP
To answer your question: No it's not hard. It's pretty easy to understand what the periodic table of elements is describing and why it is arranged the way it is. You'll need a few basic concepts under your belt before you start. With a basic understanding of atomic structure and how electron shells govern interactions between atoms, the periodic table starts to make a lot of sense.

If committing to a full course of study isn't appealing, then there are probably a few educational YouTube channels that will at least help you see the big concepts. You can easily grasp it Cathy.
