Graphic representation of the periodic table of chemical elements designed as a series table with Group 0 positioned in the middle of the table and with steps on both sides. This table was originated by Russian chemist and inventor Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev (1834-1907) in 1869 and classified by chemist Edward G. Mazurs as Type IIIC3-5 in his seminal work Types of Graphic Representation of the Periodic System of Chemical Elements (1957). This table appears as Figure 79 on page 145 of Mazurs' 1957 publication.
