Question

newland law of octaves , explain merit and Dismerit.​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\cal\fbox{Answer : - }$

(i) This classification worked well for lighter elements only up to Ca. (ii) This classification gave us a relation between the properties of the elements and their atomic masses. (iii) It was shown by this classification for the first time that there exists a periodicity in the properties of the elements.

Answer 2

Answer:

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.

Merits:

(i) This classification worked well for lighter elements only up to Ca.

(ii) This classification gave us a relation between the properties of the elements and their atomic masses.

(iii) It was shown by this classification for the first time that there exists a periodicity in the properties of the elements.

Demerits:

(i) This classification failed when the heavier elements beyond Ca were arranged according to Newland's law of octaves.

(ii) At the time of this law, noble gases were unknown. When noble gases were discovered, neon (Ne) between F and Na, and argon (Ar) between Cl and K, it becomes the ninth element and not the eighth which has the similar properties.
