Yes. The Periodic Table has not been the same over the last 75 years, as many more elements have been discovered since then. My grandfather has a mouse mat with a periodic table from 20 years ago, and it is now out of date.

The periodic table has changed four times, during 5 periods where elements were added. The periods are:

  • Before 1800 (36 elements): discoveries during and before the Enlightenment.
  • 1800-1849 (+22 elements): impulse from scientific (empirical processes systematization and modern atomic theory) and industrial revolutions.
  • 1850-1899 (+23 elements): the age of classifying elements received an impulse from the spectrum analysis. Boisbaudran, Bunsen, Crookes, Kirchhoff, and others "hunting emission line signatures".
  • 1900-1949 (+13 elements): the impulse from the old quantum theory, the consolidated periodic table, and quantum mechanics.
  • 1950-1999 (+15 elements): "atomic bomb" and Particle physics issues, for atomic numbers 97 and above.

The periodic table was changed several times in the 1800's then improved upon by Mosely in the mid 1910's. He found a relationship between the X-wave lengths and the atomic number of elements. The periodic table works on increasing atomic number. There were gaps in Mosely's research which now we know are radioactive elements that are not naturally occurring. In 2010 the most recent element was added, it is not naturally occurring. (Ununseptium)
