Since The Periodic Table is fairly Standard around the world, would you consider the Periodic Law that Dmitri Mendeleev discovered in 1867 a fundamental truth? Maybe a better question would be, if 2 separate groups of scientists were to begin from scratch, studying and investigating the Elements, would their Periodic Tables eventually have much the same structure, order and features do you think? Also a bonus question, Since The Periodic Table is primarily based on quantity of Protons and order of Electrons, are there a finite number of ways to list the Elements without breaking logic? Thank you for your time and help! All feedback is greatly appreciated! Have a great day Justin
