What is a periodic table 

 
A periodic table is a chart that puts all the known elements in a
chart with similar properties, this makes it easier for chemists,etc.
If you get to understand the periodic table, and learn to use it,
you'll be able to predict how chemicals will behave.

the difference of the old and new ones

The main difference is that the older organaze the elements based on their atomic mass
whereas Modern Periodic table orders the elements based on their atomic number, that’s
because back then were incomplete and some of the elements were placed in
inappropriate groups also, the modern periodic table  includes more detailed information
about each element, such as their atomic mass, electron configuration, and chemical
symbol.

Who discovered the first periodic table and element

In 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev created the first ever periodic table, leaving
gaps for elements that were yet to be discovered. While arranging the elements
according to their atomic weight, if he found that they did not fit into the group he would
rearrange Them. In 1669, phosphorus was the first element to be chemically discovered
by Hennig Brandt (German).

Before the development of the modern periodic table, several scientists like: Johann
Wolfgang Döbereiner, John Newlands, Julius Lothar Meyer  made significant efforts to
organize elements based on their properties. These early attempts laid the foundation
for our current understanding of the periodic table.

Dmitri Mendeleev’s periodic table

In 1869, just five years after John Newlands put forward his Law of Octaves, a Russian chemist called Dmitri
Mendeleev published a periodic table. Mendeleev also arranged the elements known at the time in order of
relative atomic mass, but he did some other things that made his table much more successful.
