The INTERNET Database of Periodic Tables
There are thousands of periodic tables in web space, but this is the only comprehensive database of periodic tables & periodic system formulations. If you know of an interesting periodic table that is missing, please contact the database curator: Mark R. Leach Ph.D. The database holds information on periodic tables, the discovery of the elements, the elucidation of atomic weights and the discovery of atomic structure (and much, much more).

Pairs and Squares Periodic Table
"Pairs and Squares" Periodic Table by Leonid A. Levin of Boston University
Leonid writes:
"All the tables [in the PT Database] share a common problem: their irregularity exceeds by far their periodicity.
"In my youth I was greatly bothered by this. Yet, taking advantage of a few patterns in atomic orbitals allows a complete elimination of all irregularities, putting all periods in a perfect pattern.This perfectly regular rendition would be much more comfortable, especially at one's first high school exposure to this Science symbol.I am attaching such "Pairs and Squares" rendition with a brief explanation."
"Read more in the full 'Pairs and Squares' paper, here."
