3D Periodic Table: The first periodic table was developed in 1862 by a French geologist called Alexandre-Émile Béguyer de Chancourtois. He plotted the elements on a cylinder with a circumference of 16 units, and noted the resulting helix placed elements with similar p…
Chemists can’t agree on the best way to arrange the elements, prompting proposals of everything from spiral-shaped alternatives to radically elongated versions
I’ve always wondered what it would look like if each square’s area was proportional to the element’s abundance on Earth, or the Cosmos. I am linking to this as although it isn’t it, it does give it a modern day twist.

This is cool, I made one at college once, and wished you could buy them as they are great. A magnetic one that you could assemble and disassemble would be a great gift too.
Introducing the Nuclear Periodic Table of Elements
never thought about it before but yep, if it wrapped round from one side to the other, you could easily see that they just build up and up with atomic mass.

You can make this beautiful version at instructables.
zillions of options have been suggested. it likely won’t change though. Its; just wrong and likely will be forever. Just to confuse students.
This, but it looks like that “is it a rabbit or a duck” puzzle.

You are not alone with this idea. it needs work for sure…
