Are there alternative periodic tables?
Charles Janet's left-step periodic table is the most widely used alternative to the traditional depiction of the periodic system. It organizes elements according to an idealized orbital filling (instead of valence).
How many different versions of the periodic table are there?
But within 100 years of the appearance of Mendeleev's Periodic Table, it is thought that around 700 different versions were published, all taking many shapes and forms in different dimensions, from spirals, cylinders and rings, to fractals and pyramids.
Will there be a 119th element?
Fusion requires several milligrams of the target element, and producing enough einsteinium (element 99) to make element 119 is impossible with today's technology.
