Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Answer: The major limitations of Newlands' law of octaves were : (i) It was applicable to only lighter elements having atomic masses upto 40 u, i.e., upto calcium. After calcium, the first and the eighth element did not have similar properties.
▶️An arrangement of the elements that predated Mendeleev's periodic table ; Newland's arrangement was a grouping of the elements in increasing atomic weights in horizontal rows of eight elements, with each new row directly beneath the previous one.
✴️Newland could arrange atoms only upto calcium, out of the total 56 elements unknown.
✴️After calcium, every eighth element did not possess properties similar to that of the first.
✴️Only 56 elements were known at the time of Newland, but later several elements were discovered.
