Abstract
Since Dmitry Mendeleev published the initial concept of the Periodic Law in 1869, the Table has been continuously updated with newly discovered elements, and figuratively speaking, today it serves both as an icon and as an inspiration for modern chemists. Its image is so easily recognizable all around the world that it has become a symbol for science. This paper highlights just a few of the varied forms that the Table can take, such as an infographic, which can convey the shortage of certain elements with great impact.
