Abstract
A cyclic spiral arrangement of the elements is discussed. This arrangement is best considered as the vertical projection of a solid model, somewhat conical in form. The planar arrangement is modified from the plan of the solid model only as necessary to clarify the presentation.Considered chemically this arrangement has the advantage of separating each type of element without ambiguity, and the rare earths and 'VIII groups' are also accommodated as an integral and significant part of the orderly development of the table. The A and B grouping is also eliminated.The opposing nature of the electropositive and electronegative elements is clearly shown, and the various broad classes of elements are closely grouped, e.g., the active: inactive metals; elements forming predominantly inorganic groupings: elements readily forming organic compounds; the acid forming elements; the various analytical groups, etc.The table also requires a minimum of artificial arrangement and utilizes a definite scale in both the planar and solid model.
