Formula systematis periodici in quattuor fere regionesrectangulares dividitur, stipites appellatas. Ordines systematis periodi, columnae autem greges appellantur. Elementa in eodem grege similes proprietates chemicas monstrant. Inclinationes per systema inveniuntur, ubi proprietates non metallicae (quae suos electrones tenent) a laeva ad dextram trans periodum et ab ima ad summam gregis partem crescunt, ac proprietates metallicae (quae electrones aliis atomis dent) cursu contrario crescunt. Principalis harum inclinationum causa est figura electronum intra atomos.
Systema periodicum iam mutatur, scientia progrediente. Quia solum elementa usque ad numerum atomicum nonagesimum quartum in natura exstant, chemici huius aetatis, ad systema porro augendum, nova elementa in laboratorio per synthesin artificiosam necessarie componunt. Hodie prima systematis elementa centum et duodeviginti omnino agnoscuntur, primos septem tabulae ordines conficientes, sed investigationes proprietatum chemicarum carent, et iam ignotum est num proprietates elementorum gravissimorum cum eorum locis congruant, nec cognoscitur spatium ubi tabula praeter hos ordines septem extendetur et num exemplaria partis tabulae iam notae in hanc regionem ignotam extendentur. Chemici etiam disputant utrum loci nonnullorum elementorum in tabula hodierna veri sunt, necne. Multae alternae legis periodicae repraesentationes concipi possunt,[3] et non iam constat inter eruditos num esse optima tabulae periodicae forma.
