You cannot expect any method to do the job instantly, but there are several things you can do to aid the memory process.
Print a few copies of the table and put them up in places you spend most of your time, then remind yourself to keep referencing them frequently. Putting at least one in a good, visible place where you can see it at a glance, or without even consciously looking at it (such as next to your PC monitor) can be helpful. You'll be surprised how much you memorise over time without even trying.
You can also download an image to use as your wallpaper, or install an app for your mobile phone - there are Periodic Table reference apps for Android, iPhone, Symbian, RIM/BBOS, and older Java-enabled phones too.
Use phonetic pronunciations or work each line of elements into acronyms, sentences, or short stories that are more easily memorable that bland lists. Even semi-sensible gibberish that is easily memorised can aid recollection of connected data.
For instance, as a quickly improvised example, the first eleven elements (H, He, Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F, Ne, Na) could be memorised as something like "Hehe! Libby Bacon of any name." Emphasise "H He LiBe BCN OF Ne Na" as you memorise it, and practice converting back and forth to the sequence of elements in your head. It is probably better to stick to each line, or memorable groups.
You can find mnemonic phrases like this (or you could make your own up) for each line or sequence and link them together. Practice them frequently! Eventually, you will find the relevant information coming to mind even before you fully recall the mnemonic used.

Will the periodic table always look this way?
In more than 150 years the periodic table had many versions; hundred versions of this table are known. The sole official table is today the IUPAC Periodic Table.
Which is the statement of the periodic table?
The basic idea is that when arranged in a certain way (the way presented in the periodic table), elements in the same column tend to have similar properties.
What is the periodic table of elements and how are the elements arranged?
by their atomic number
What does cr(nh3)6(no3)3 mean in the periodic table?
The periodic table places ELEMENTS in its structure. "cr(nh3)6(no3)3" is not an element and therefore has no place in the periodic table. However, if you look up its constituent parts (Cr, N, H, O, etc.) you can find out information on those elements and learn more about the molecule and its properties that way.
What do you mean by periodic table?
The periodic table of elements was invented by the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev and nowadays it's the most common way to tabulate the elements.
Is there a way to learn the periodic table quickly?
No. If you use it frequently you will learn the parts you use. --- A bit faster way is to memorize the groups (elements from top to bottom).
Why is the periodic table arrange the way it is?
The periodic table is arranged by the Atomic Number
How can the periodic table of elements help you learn?
The periodic table is set out in a pattern that provides a great deal of information about the elements. Understanding the way the table is structured will help to understand how elements will behave and react. A study of the patterns will be a great aid in learning about chemicals and why they work in the way they do.

Which way does electron shells increase on the periodic table?
The number of shells in periodic table increase down the group, i.e., vertically.

However, if you look up its constituent parts (Cr, N, H, O, etc.) you can find out information on those elements and learn more about the molecule and its properties that way.
Did the periodic table all ways looked this way?
no because if you look back in time more they didn't know as much as we do now so we learn more over time so if you looked back in time you wold see that there would be gaps in random spots on the periodic table. :)
Are more than three-fourths of the elements in the periodic table non-metals?
No it is the other way around. The majority of elements in the periodic table are metals.
How did mendeleev organize the periodic table?
He is credited as being the creator of the first version of the periodic table of elements. Using the table, he predicted the properties of elements yet to be discovered.
