Periodic table was invented by Mendeleev, a Russian while playing piano. Music has 7 notes, hence the periodic table consists of 7 families, ignoring the mid section, which no one has been able to figure out where to be placed, so is the case with many other elements invented.

Base your project on a musical scale of 7

I do not know what fictions on which gangico is basing his beliefs. But Mendeleev did not use 7 notes to lay out the table.

A quote from wikipedia - Mendeleev's key insight in devising the periodic table was to lay out the elements to illustrate recurring ("periodic") chemical properties (even if this meant some of them were not in mass order), and to leave gaps for "missing" elements. Mendeleev used his table to predict the properties of these "missing elements", and many of them were indeed discovered and fit the predictions well.

I am stumped on an idea for a model of the chart. The word "model" implies something 3-dimensional, but the chart is 2-dimensional. My girlfriend suggests making a wall from styrofoam blocks with each block representing an element. Maybe you could make a big chart and have little models of various elements that show the number of electrons and electron shells for the various families.

btw gangico, the scale on all but toy pianos has 12 notes.
