@sur_27Forget the standard layout you memorized in high school because this version actually scales elements based on how abundant they are on Earth's surface instead of just grouping them by atomic number. The design comes from Professor William F. Sheehan at Santa Clara University and it flips the script on how we visualize chemical diversity. Standard tables usually display elements in a different format but this chart prioritizes abundance data over traditional periodic trends. It is a confirmed alternative scientific visualization that presents an educational perspective without any personal commentary or hype.

The focus is a periodic table of elements presented in the shape of a running shoe. The elements are color-coded and sized to represent their relative abundance, with text overlays explaining the chart. The mood is educational and artistic, with a vintage aesthetic. The shoe shape is visually notable, as are the color gradients indicating electronegativity. ON-SCREEN TEXT: The Elements According to Relative Abundance A Periodic Chart by Prof. Wm. F. Sheehan, University of Santa Clara, CA 95053 Ref. Chemistry, Vol. 49, No. 3, p 17-18, 1976 Colors suggest relative electronegativity © 1970 Wm. F. Sheehan All Rights Reserved Reprinted from 1978 calendar. Roughly, the size of an element's own niche ("I almost wrote square") is proportioned to its abundance on Earth's surface, and in addition, certain chemical similarities (e.g., Be and Al, or B and Si) are sug- gested by the positioning of neighbors.
