Abstract
The periodic table, a fundamental tool in chemistry, has undergone a remarkable evolution from its early qualitative studies to the integration of modern machine learning applications. This paper delves into the historical journey of the periodic table, highlighting key events and contributions from renowned scientists such as Mendeleev, Moseley, and Bohr. Through their groundbreaking work, our understanding of the elements and their periodic trends has been significantly enhanced. The periodic table’s predictive power, rooted in the periodic law, has not only facilitated the systematic organization of elements but has also enabled the anticipation of properties of yet-to-be-discovered elements. With the advent of machine learning algorithms, researchers now have the capability to predict the properties of novel elements, optimize experimental conditions, and accelerate the discovery of new materials. This paper explores the enduring significance of the periodic table as a symbol of order and discovery in the field of chemistry, showcasing its continued relevance and utility in the context of modern scientific advancements and technological innovations.
