Abstract
Following the introduction of the new even-odd and isoelectronic rules and definitions affecting the understanding of electronic structure and bonds, the author has thought necessary to summarize understandings in the form of a table. The classical periodic table, a simple tool used by generations of physicists, is here extended to become a useful tool aimed specifically at chemists. In chemistry, position and number of covalent bonds of each atom are needed, as well as the exact location of charges. The table gives the number of possible bonds for each element and reveals how it is affected by charges. Additionally, the specific table indicates for each atom its isoelectronic elements and highlights the distinction between organic and inorganic elements. Discussion is led on the first two rows of the table by successfully comparing its statement with more than 50 well-known liquid and gaseous compounds.
Highlights
When Mendeleyev elaborated his periodic table in the 1860’s [1], he classified elements by their atomic weight and by columns containing elements with the same physical or valence properties [2]

The present article is an attempt at addressing this limitation with a specific periodic table for chemistry
Summary
When Mendeleyev elaborated his periodic table in the 1860’s [1], he classified elements by their atomic weight and by columns containing elements with the same physical or valence properties [2]. The first parameter, the atomic weight, has been changed by Van den Broek who proposed to classify elements by their
