Answer:
According to Newlands' law of octaves, when elements are arranged in increasing order of their atomic masses, the properties of the eighth element are a repetition of the properties of the first element. ... If we take the elements Li, Be, B, C, N,O, F and Na, lithium (Li) is the first element, and sodium the eighth.

Answer:
Newland’s Law of Octaves
In the year 1864, the British chemist John Newlands attempted the 62 elements known at that time. He arranged them in an ascending order based on their atomic masses and observed that every 8th element had similar properties. On the basis of this observation, Newland’s law of octaves was formulated.
The law of octaves states that every eighth element has similar properties when the elements are arranged in the increasing order of their atomic masses.
Newlands compared the similarity between the elements to the octaves of music, where every eighth note is comparable to the first. This was the first attempt at assigning an atomic number to each element. However, this method of classifying elements was met with a lot of resistance in the scientific community.
