Chemistry:Angular Periodic table of Elements

Introduction

The complete periodic table consists of two circles -- PRINCIPAL CIRCLE and AUXILIARY CIRCLE. The Principal Circle consists of seven tracks (periods) and eighteen sectors (groups). The Auxiliary Circle consists of only two tracks -- Inner Track and Outer Track. There is no division of sectors in Auxiliary Circle.

The Principal Circle and Auxiliary Circle are joined to each other between 500 to 900 of Principal Circle and 3200 to 00/3600 and 00/3600 to 400 of Auxiliary Circle.

The radii of both the circles are so adjusted that the arc of Principal Circle from 500 to 900 is exactly equal to the arc of Auxiliary Circle from 3200 to 00/3600 to 400 in ratio of 13:7.

The Principal Circle contains three blocks of elements, i.e. s-block from 100 to 500 with two sectors, p-block from 2500 to 00/3600 and 00/3600 to 100 with six sectors and d-block from 500 to 2500 with ten sectors.

Auxiliary Circle contains only one block of elements, i.e. f-block from 400 to 3200 without any sector.

As all of us know, there are two main defects in our Modern Periodic table i.e.

1. Position of Hydrogen and
2. Position of Lanthanides and Actinides.
In Modern Periodic Table, Hydrogen is placed at two places (with alkali metals as well as with helogens) and Lanthanides and Actinides are placed below the main body of periodic table seperately.

In angular form of periodic table, both the defects have been removed successfully.
In angular form of periodic table, Hydrogen is strategically placed at the centre of Principal Circle by considering it as a parent element. By placing the Hydrogen at the centre of periodic table, it comes in contact with alkali metals as well as with halogens. In the angular form of periodic table developed by me, Hydrogen is not assigned any group and it is termed as core element. Lanthanide and Actinide are also joined to the main body of the periodic table with the help of an Auxiliary Circle, thus making the periodic table more continuous and comprehensive.

Other advantages of angular form of periodic table are as follows:

1. It also improves the position of Helium (He). Helium is placed with other inert gases and it also comes in contact of s-block elements.

2. d-block is placed between s-block and p-block but still, they are joined to each other.

3. It gives the proper filling of electrons according to Aufbau principle.

4. Position of every element is ascertained not only qualitatively but also quantitatively.

5. It is related to structure of atom.

6. All non-transition elements are grouped together.

7. It makes the study of elements easier and far more interesting.

8. A special weightage is given to inert gases by placing them at 00/3600 and by measuring the position of all other groups with respect of these gases.

9. We can find the quantum numbers for each element.

10. Since it is easier to study and compare elements, we can easily find the relative size of atom in a group (sector) just by observing the table. It is also very useful to explain shielding effect ionisation potential, electron affinity, etc.

11. It devides the complete table into two parts, metals and non-metals.

12. The distinction, distribution and designation of different groups of elements are very clear.
