Periodic Table

I think that the school should use the new periodic table because it’s more advanced than the older version of the periodic table therefore the information is more accurate. The fact that the newer version of the periodic table has more elements and is more advanced makes the answers that someone may have precise. I also think that even if the older version of the periodic table is easier to read, since it is in horizontal and vertical columns and rows, the new periodic table has the elements arranged in a better that helps understand why the elements are where they are. For example, “certain elements fit into it uncomfortably; for example, hydrogen sits above lithium, with which it shares few properties.” The fact that Stewart found a way in which people would understand how and why these two elements belong next to each other helps them have a better understanding unlike the older version of the periodic table in which there was a big gap between Hydrogen and Helium. This is why I think that our school should used the more advanced and precise periodic table.
