It can be possible because old ways give way to new ways and I think it is a great idea but how are going to base it on? I for one think that the Lanthanide series and the transition metals are confusing as for one, because they don't fit neatly into the table of elements. Maybe a pyramid of sorts would be a start. Maybe starting with Hydrogen at the top middle and work your way building the pyramid and so forth.

Solve the quantum mechanical problem of electrons orbiting a nucleus for each element.
Wait! that's unsolvable!
Then solve the equations for an electron orbiting a hydrogen atom. Then start inserting electrons into the orbitals according to Hunds law.
Hydrogen has 1 electron so it goes into the 1S^2
Helium has 2 electrons both in 1S^2. Now you've filled up all the orbitals for the primary quantum number n=1. You need to move on to n=2, this is equivalent to starting a new row.
Lithium has 3 electrons 1S^2 + 2S
Berilium has 4 electrons 1S^2 +2S^2, now we start filling P orbitals of n=2:
Boron has 5 electrons: 1S^2+2S^2+2P^1
Carbon has 6 electrons: 1S^2+2S^2+2P^2
Nitrogen has 7 electrons: 1S^2+2S^2+2P^3
Oxygen has 8 electrons: 1S^2+2S^2+2P^4
Fluorine has 9 electrons: 1S^2+2S^2+2P^5
Neon has 10 electrons: 1S^2+2S^2+2P^6. We've filled up all the possible orbitals with n=2, lets move on and fill the orbitals of n=3. This means starting a new row in the periodic table.
Wait a minute! This looks exactly like the original periodic table. It appears that quantum mechanics can explain the structure of the periodic table that was formulated over a century ago!

Well, sir, there is no scientific answer for this question. It would be like asking "what should I do if I create a new alphabet?".
Chances are nothing is going to become of it because there is already a standard created, and to come up with a new one would be like rewriting history. The chances of introducing a new periodic table are about the same as introducing a new alphabet.

The modern Periodic Table follows trends based on weight and the amount of protons in atoms.
Be sure to make your new periodic table follow trends. They can be whatever trends you want, as long as most every atom will conform in some way.
The current one is very good though, relative to most other ideas and based on some very good principles, so I assume you are not making a new one to rival the current one.

The periodic table in use today is based on the number of protons in the atom of each element.
What would yours be based on?

You should try to see this periodic table to your friend and to you chemistry teacher. If he is satisfy he will give the proper guidence for what to do.
I also want to see you perodic table. And its basics concept.

What's wrong with the one we have now and why did you feel the need to create a new one? Why is yours better?

Check it on a regular basis i.e. periodically to see if any new elements have been added.

I agree what is your table based on and did you discover (lol) a new element to be added to it?? Let us see!!!
