Left-side electronic configuration series table with combined blocks of alkali metals and nonmetals
- 1953 (Original design)
- Circa 1957 (Date attributed to slide)
Graphic representation of the periodic table of chemical elements designed as a left-side electronic configuration series table with the alkali metals and nonmetals combined into one block of representative elements. This table was originated by Costa Rican chemist and physicist Gil Chaverri Rodriguez (1921-2005) in 1953 and classified by chemist Edward G. Mazurs as Subtype IIIC4-1a in his seminal work Types of Graphic Representation of the Periodic System of Chemical Elements (1957). This illustration appears as Figure 89 on page 153 of Mazurs' 1957 publication.
