Bayley Pyramid

The Bayley Pyramid Periodic Table


The Thomas Bayley Pyramid is a design nearly as old as the standard Mendelevian arrangement. It emphasizes the periods rather than the groups. Notice that the Lanthinide and Actinide "Rare Earth" sections are incorporated into their more proper position within periods six and seven. The angled lines connect the conventional groups. This construction can be considered to be a blending of the Bayley Pyramid with its intact sixth and seventh periods and the modern conventional form dominated by the groupings dictated by the outer shell configuration. These tables all depict the symmetrical nature of the periodic law regarding the increase in intervals before periodicity accurs in every other period with the exception of the first one. Tie lines demote chemical analogies

	"I have talked 1998 with Glenn Theodore Seaborg about his illustration above and promised him to send an alternative version as soon as is ready. He died, for me surprisingly 1999. Therefore, I will publish these in good memory at his fatherly and helpful kind." [ W.Klehr ] It can be considered to be a extended modernization of the Bayley Pyramid.
