  Following the introduction of the new even-odd and isoelectronic rules and definitions affecting the understanding of electronic structure and bonds, the author has thought necessary to summarize understandings in the form of a table. The classical periodic table, a simple tool used by generations of physicists, is here extended to become a useful tool aimed specifically at chemists. In chemistry, position and number of covalent bonds of each atom are needed, as well as the exact location of charges. The table gives the number of possible bonds for each element and reveals how it is affected by charges. Additionally, the specific table indicates for each atom its isoelectronic elements and highlights the distinction between organic and inorganic elements. Discussion is led on the first two rows of the table by successfully comparing its statement with more than 50 well-known liquid and gaseous compounds.

Introduction</title><p>When Mendeleyev elaborated his periodic table in the 1860’s [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref1">1</xref>] , he classified elements by their atomic weight and by columns containing elements with the same physical or valence properties [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref2">2</xref>] . The first parameter, the atomic weight, has been changed by Van den Broek who proposed to classify elements by their number of positive charges in the nucleus [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref3">3</xref>] . This periodic table classifies isotopes having the same positive charge, at the same place. This periodic table is today a reference even in chemistry [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref4">4</xref>] . Many variations of the periodic table exist, each trying to complete it for a specific purpose, but none gives indications of chemical bonds or of the location of electronic charges. Understanding bonds and charges positions could be very useful in chemistry, mainly when studying compounds structures or predicting chemical reactions.</p><p>The present article is an attempt at addressing this limitation with a specific periodic table for chemistry. In this table, elements are classified by their number of electrons and their electronic structure in compounds, including when bearing charges. This specific table is based on the even-odd and the isoelectronicity rules recently proposed [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref5">5</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref6">6</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref7">7</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref8">8</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref9">9</xref>] . The even-odd rule gives the number of covalent bonds an element can have and the isoelectronicity rule allows to know where and how to add a charge when an element of a compound is needed. The specific periodic table for chemistry presents elements very similarly to the classical periodic table, with elements in rows and columns, but it additionally includes electronic structures of atoms when bearing charges.</p><p>First, we briefly recall the rules used and presents the two first rows of the specific periodic table for chemistry. It describes features common to atoms within each cell as well as to neighboring cells. The difference between organic, semi-organic and inorganic elements is then detailed, linked to the number of electrons pairs in their shells. We end with a list of neutral and charged compounds compatible with the featured table. This list is composed of compounds with elements of the main group [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref10">10</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref11">11</xref>] .</p><p>Compounds used to illustrate the use of the table are known to exist under standard conditions in liquid or gaseous phase [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref12">12</xref>] , i.e. far from extreme pressure and temperature. This evidently removes solid structures from our study [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref13">13</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref14">14</xref>] .</p><p>To remain conform to the notation used in previous papers dealing with the even-odd rule, compounds are noted in capitals: NH3 is for neutral ammonia, NH4(+) is an ammonia cation and NH2(−) an ammonia anion [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref4">4</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref5">5</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref6">6</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref7">7</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref8">8</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref9">9</xref>] .</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2. Even-Odd and Isoelectronicity Rules</title><p>As highlighted in previous articles, charged elements that follow the even-odd rule can only bear a single charge. Another criterion of the rule is that a connection between two elements of a compound can only be a single covalent bond [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref5">5</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref6">6</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref7">7</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref8">8</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref9">9</xref>] .</p><p>The even-odd rule offers a method to calculate the number of covalent bonds an element can have when part of a compound [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref7">7</xref>] . The maximum number of covalent bonds is obviously linked to the valence number since valence electrons are available for bonding. However, valence electrons are not always involved in bonds and those unbound remain in pairs. The number of bonds of an element in a compound may hence be smaller than expected.</p><p>The isoelectronicity rule allows an element in a compound to be replaced by an element of the nearest column in the classical periodic table [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.84684-ref8">8</xref>] . This is possible first: when both elements have the same external electronic structure and second when multi-charged elements are excluded.</p></sec><sec id="s3"><title>3.
