Abstract
The New Alternative Periodic Table of the Atoms is a novel arrangement of the elements based on the number of outer electrons and the number of shells. It is a grid with the X-axis equal to the number of outer electrons and the Y-axis equal to the number of shells an atom has. Each atom / cluster of atoms is on a square based on the number of outer electrons and the number of shells. This is the result of two years of research and analysis of the atoms, elements, molecules, chemical reactions and was first presented at the 2023 CPA Science & Engineering Fair and 2023 OCSEF. This New Alternative Periodic Table of the Atoms may give scientists insights for their future research, for example, to predict new elements and better understand the chemical bonds.
Moreover, a periodic table based on the number of outer electrons and the number of electron shells could provide a more intuitive way of understanding the chemical properties of elements. By arranging the elements according to these two parameters, we can group together elements with similar chemical properties in a way that is easy to visualize and understand. One potential benefit of this type of periodic table is that it could make it easier for scientists to predict the chemical properties of elements that have not yet been discovered or synthesized. By looking at the position of an unknown element in the table, researchers could make educated guesses about the element's reactivity, electronegativity, and other important properties.
Overall, a periodic table based on the number of outer electrons and the number of shells has the potential to be a valuable tool for chemists and students alike, providing new insights into the behavior of elements and facilitating the discovery of new elements with novel properties.
