Answer 2

Limitations of Newland’s Law of Octaves

→ It was applicable upto calcium (for lighter elements only).

→ Properties of new discovered elements did not fit into the law of octave.

→ To fit elements into his table, Newlands put even two elements together in one slot and that too in the column of unlike elements having very different properties.
