Periodic Table Arrangement
Typewriter arrangement The periodic table is made to fit on a piece of paper so it can be easily read and printed. However this leaves several gaps that can break the flow of the periodic table in the reader s eyes.
Long Arrangement Lanthanides and Actinides are supposed to be in there like this but it makes it less printable and readable. It also adds a huge disconnect between Beryllium and Boron (and others).
Alexander Arrangement of the Elements This connects the normal periodic table to the spiral arrangement by making a 3 dimensional model. All it takes is some scissors and tape.
How to Roll the pieces you have face out around a pen or pencil so that it coils easily when you release it. Fold creases on the edges of the transition metals marked by the dotted line
Now Tape the lanthanides and actinides in a loop coming out of the transition elements where they belong. Here
Cont. Push the transition metals so that they form a loop face out and tape group 2 next to group 13. In this picture the transition metals would be a loop flopping out of the screen. H Li Be Na Mg K Ca Transition metals Rb Sr Cs Ba Fr Ra
AAE Now fold the Noble Gases around so that they connect to the Alkali Metals. Connect He to Li (2-3) Ne to Na (10-11) and so forth Here is an overhead view of what you should have Main group elements Transition metals Lanthanide and actinide series
