It is a well organised catalogue of all the elements in the universe and plays an unparalleled roll in today’s modern science. The periodic table arranges all known elements by atomic number, electron configuration and by chemical properties/characteristic (which are periodic). Today the periodic table is still being built upon and is used extensively in the many forms of chemistry and science. This fundamental tool of science owes its existence to several scientists and organisations such as: Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier Known as the father of modern chemistry, Antoine de Lavoisier played a big part in creating the periodic table, his most important contribution being his chemistry textbook “Traite Elementaire de Chimie” which is considered the basis of the periodic table. This textbook contained the key facts of chemistry but most importantly what
