Shapeshifting: Proposal For a New Periodic Table of the Elements

Posted by timothy on from the settlers-of-catan-eat-your-heart-out dept.

First time accepted submitter ramorim writes "In honor of the Chemist Day, celebrated in Brazil on this day June 18, 2013, I publish a proposal for a new Periodic Table of Elements (Original, in Portugese) in a modular spiral-hexagonal model, with continuity and connectivity for all constituent units of the matter. This proposal indeed permits to extrapolate the hypothetical elements of the G-block and H-block in the same model."

    The proposal looks more like a beehive than a table. Little wonder that the current design, with its' inherent expand-ability, has experienced sustained longevity.

  2. So Hydrogen and Florine are in the same "column" by medv4380 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I can see where this "attempts" to make more sense. I'll still be going with Mendeleyev Derivatives. This proposal is just fancy for the sake of being fancy.

    If you don't know basic terms that deal with the periodic table then just maybe you aren't qualified to comment on whether or not a redesign could be useful.

    Foreign language submissions are all well and good, but shouldn't our esteemed editors be editing the submitted English into grammatical English (or paraphrasing it)?
