The Periodic Table: Learning it the right way!
I can imagine half of the viewers immediately closing this page by just taking a look at the title, but believe me readers, we've been reading/learning the periodic table the wrong way ever since its introduction to us. The periodic table had taken several turns before arriving to what we see of it today. My fellow chemists would agree that the Modern periodic table wasn't the first to be invented by mankind. The periodic table originated based on "trends". These trends usually depend on the physical properties of the elements or sometimes just a similarity complex. The fundamental classifications started out in several ways. From Döbereiner ( pronounced as "doo-ba-high-nah") as triads that showed triplets of elements in an arithmetic pattern. The "Octaves" of Newland that arranged elements in sets of eight, just like an octave in classical music theory. I'm pretty sure that any chemist would've come across both of these at...
