Answer:
If you were to rearrange the periodic table, how would you organize the elements?
Your suggestion is something like: “If you could change the answers in the Multiplication Table, how would you change it.” You can’t! 5x15 will always be 15. Yes, you could change the number system base, but that would be so much more confusing.
In the Periodic Table, you may, however, move the entire inner transition metals block to their correct location between columns 2&3, but that just merely changes the aspect ratio of the printed table, without actually changing the table. Or you could wrap it around a cylinder, like a barber-shop pole, but again, that would just change the presentation of it, without actually changing the table.
So, more than 100 years of thought, by exceptionally smart scientists, have given us today’s best table.
A favorite expression of mine, when I hand out the Period Table to my chemistry students, along with their test, is that I’m providing them with an Answer Sheet. That’s because if you really know how to interpret the many facets of a Periodic Table, there are “tons” of chemistry answers hidden in it.
