They don't use them not so many times any more because they know the 'principle' and (more important) they know what they can do with it, without the black magic of semi-chemists.
Short: the use is exaggerated by a lot of people, even teachers. It is a nice table for looking up some facts, but more is in other (simpler) tables.
Periodic table help to estimate the chemical and physical properties of elements.
as a reference tool
The periodic table was created by chemists, specifically Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869. Mendeleev organized the elements based on their properties and atomic weights to create a system that displayed the periodic trends of elements.
Dimitri Mendeleev is credited with the the creation of the first modern and rational periodic table of chemical elements; but other chemists also had contributions.
These are called periods. Although some chemists simply call them rows.
How have chemists used the Periodic Table over time
Periodic table group elements with similar properties together. It makes study of elements easier for chemists.
Chemists
The periodic table is very useful.
By grouping the elements on the Periodic Table.

Sodium Chloride ,which is capital I in the periodic table, is what "chemists" call salt.
one of them is dmitri mendeleev
Many modifications were done. Finally moseley's periodic table was accepted.
