Images of spiral periodic tables of the elements

The periodic table is an arrangment of the chemical elements ordered by atomic number so that chemical periodic properties of the elements (chemical periodicity) are made clear.

There is no one single or best structure for the periodic table. A spiral form of the periodic table possesses an advantage in that the ordering by strict atomic number is made very clear while showing very clearly the groups of elements related by similarities in chemical properties.

Images of various periodic tables

There are many variants of the periodic table, some useful, others less so. A few are linked shown below. Click on the images below to see images of the periodic table in a variety of styles. Many other periodic table formats are catalogued at Mark Leach's Meta-synthesis web site. A classic book showing many forms of the periodic table in print is: Edward G. Mazurs, Periodic representations of the periodic system during one hundred years, University of Alabama Press USA, 2nd edition, 1974. ISBN: 0-8173-3200-6.
