Summary
New form of the periodic table of the elements is given in this
paper. This form can be seen as two amphitheater pyramids facing
each other. The cubes that meet are s-elements (interior) then
the p-elements then d-elements and the f-elements at last (exterior).
The table can be represented by X-, Y- and Z-axes, where the Z-axis
gives the number of the period that the element occupies. The
table can be modeled by colored cubes helping in introducing the
periodic table to the pupils early in the primary education.
