Periodic table centre and the transition metals, lanthanides, and actinides occupying peninsulas. Most periodic tables are two-dimensional; three-dimensional tables are known to as far back as at least 1862 (pre-dating Mendeleev's two-dimensional table of 1869). More recent examples include Courtines' Periodic Classification (1925), Wringley's Lamina System (1949), Giguère's Periodic helix (1965) and Dufour's Periodic Tree (1996). Going one further, Stowe's Physicist's Periodic Table (1989) has been described as being four-dimensional (having three spatial dimensions and one colour dimension). The various forms of periodic tables can be thought of as lying on a chemistry–physics continuum. Towards the chemistry end of the continuum can
Extended periodic table (detailed cells) Extended periodic table (detailed cells) This is a large version of the extended periodic table of the chemical elements. For the natural isotopic composition of each element it shows "name", "atomic number", "symbol", "standard atomic weight" (or atomic weight) and a link to the element's isotopes. It also has, by keyed markings, a notification of "occurrence", "state of matter" and "metallic character". It is named "extended" because it shows elements that are theoretical only (in period 8), and "large" means that the table might exceed page width. The presentation is wide which means that there are no table parts separated
