Abstract

The most important image in chemistry and perhaps even in the whole of science is the periodic table of the elements. In this article I will be discussing the role that the periodic table plays in chemical education and a possible change to the way that the periodic table is exploited in chemistry courses. I will also be giving a very brief history of the development of the periodic table. The concluding section will consist of what may be termed remaining open questions concerning the periodic table.
