When to use it

Use it when writing chemical equations to remember which seven elements must be written as diatomic molecules rather than single atoms.

Example

The combustion of hydrogen is written $2\text{H}_2 + \text{O}_2 \to 2\text{H}_2\text{O}$, not $2\text{H} + \text{O}$, because both are diatomic.

Common mistake

Forgetting chlorine, which starts with Cl, not C. The C in the phrase stands for chlorine, not carbon.
