Question

What are newlands octaves? What was the problem with this classification?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

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.

Newland's Law of Octaves →

In 1864, Newlands arranged the known 56 elements in the order of increasing atomic masses. He observed that the properties of every eighth element are similar to the properties of the first element. Based on this observation, he proposed the Law of Octaves for the classification of elements.

classifications of new land's octave:-

According to this law, "When the elements are arranged in the increasing order of their atomic masses, the properties of every eighth element are similar to the first."
