[Title text: Classical Periodic Table]

[A diagram in the shape of the periodic table of elements is split into labeled colored regions. Each region is labeled with a large letter over a word in smaller letters.]

[The regions and colors are as follows:

A: Air: light blue: the first element and the upper-right of the main body, which includes noble gases, halogens and some non-metals.

W: Water: dark blue: two separated cells in the main body.

F: Fire: red-orange: the bottom stripe of both the main body and the separated section.

E: Earth: brown: everything else, the majority of the diagram.
