cos they're not circles?
If you mean the elements themselves (The letters on the blocks), there are several reasons.
1: The element was named after the person who discovered the element.
2: The element was named after a person/place/word that the discoverer chose.
Some examples are:
"Caesium" (Cs) which is a metal element that was named after the Latin word for "deep blue".
"Fermium" (Fm) which was found in the wreckage of the first atomic bomb and was named after Enrico Fermi, who worked on the bomb.
"Californium" (Cf) which was named after the University of California in Berkeley.

Who recognized a pattern in the properties of the elements and made the first periodic table?
In 1869, a Russian scientist named Dmitri Mendeleev arranged the elements in a table according to their atomic mass, this was the first periodic table. However, a few elements didn't fit the pattern in Mendeleev's table, so a new table had to be made, and that table is today's periodic table which is arranged by atomic number, and not atomic mass.

Why is the table of elements named the periodic table?
The periodic table is named so because the elements are aligned in 'periods'. But it probably works the other way round. The Periodic Table has that name because it arises from Mendeleev's formulation of the Periodic Law, which he stated as "When the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic weight, their chemical properties recur as a periodic function". The modern Periodic Law is the same except that "atomic weight" has been replaced with "atomic number".

Into what four blocks can the periodic table be divided to illustrate the ralationship between the elements' elecron configurations and their placement in the periodic table?
Into the SPDF blocks. so groups 1 and 2 are S Groups 3-12 are D Groups 13-18 are P (except He, He is 2s) and the lanthanides and actinides are F
Who is the creator of the periodic table and why?
a scientist called Mendelev created the periodic table so that all the elements could be easily arranged by their mass

There are a large number of metals present on periodic table. So they are most abundant.
What is the symbol in the periodic table for pewter?
Pewter is not an element, it is an alloy of several metals, so it does not appear on the periodic table of the elements.
