newland law of octave explain
Answers
Law of octaves, in chemistry, the generalization made by the English chemist J.A.R. Newlands in 1865 that, if the chemical elements are arranged according to increasing atomic weight, those with similar physical and chemical properties occur after each interval of seven elements. Newlands was one of the first to detect a periodic pattern in the properties of the elements and anticipated later developments of the periodic law.
an english scientist, arranged the elementsin order of increasing atomic masses . he started with the element having lower atomic mass (h)and ended at thorium which was 56th element.
he arranged elements as the 1st element had properties similar to the 8th element..
he compared this the octaves found in music ....so that's the reason he called it "Law of octaves..".
