Periodic table column numbering
I don't think it should go 1, 2, 3, 4... 16, 17, 18.
I think it should be:
1,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,3,4,5,6,7,8,2.
Why?
If you have just the first period (row), then H will be in group 1, and He will be in group 2.
But when you add another period, H will still be group 1, but He will become group 8, and there will be 6 more groups.
When you add another, it changes even more.
If you number them top-to-bottom instead of left-to-right, then it's easier to change when new elements are discovered.
And I'm psycho. I have no idea why I'm posting this.

Scientists have to make it easy for STUDENTS to use, not the scientists themselves.

I disagree. Most scientists aren't teachers.

It wouldn't be fair for the educated to complicate matters for the uneducated.
