Other Designs of the Periodic Table

What? There are other designs of the periodic table? Yes, you’ve heard me correctly. There are other designs of the periodic table, and I admit, I was surprised to see these. The only periodic table that I know of is Dmitri Mendeleev’s periodic table, and I would assume that you’re only familiar with him, too. But, as it turns out, Mendeleev’s table is not the only periodic table in the world.

Here are some of them. Check their respective functions at Science Alert.
