I have read about periodic table when i was in 9th standard .It was in the chemistry book and at that time, to learn periodic table was the biggest challenge for me but seeing periodic table in graphical form is very interesting .Now it will be easy to learn the periodic table.Thanks for sharing it here

A New Graphical Representation of the Periodic Table is nice. Being a chemistry student I can say that Chemists should go for it.Properties such as ionization energy, electron affinity, electronegativity metallic character, binding energies, diagonal relationships holds good for Circular form of Periodic Table.Thanks for sharing.

@Seth Grimes If you look at his paper (PDF), towards the end he lists Advantages and states:Properties such as ionization energy, electron affinity, electro negativity metallic character, binding energies, diagonal relationships holds good for Circular form of Periodic Table.I still think it's less intuitive than the old block-design..

I don’t get this: “He says this gives a sense of the relative size of atoms–the closer to the centre, the smaller they are–something that is missing from the current form of the table.”

In Mendeleev’s table, the higher the row an atom is in, the lower its atomic weight (which is NOT necessarily the same thing as smaller). The nested-arc arrangement doesn’t seem to add any information.

Further where are Mendeleev’s atomic families? I don’t see them in this graphic. (Could be a resolution problem.) Compare to the arrangement in the graphic at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_weight .
