HLO MATE HERE IS UR ANSWER

⭐. By the end of 17th century, about 13 elements were known. Towards the end of 18th century another 11 elements were discovered.

⭐. By 1865 , about 63 elements were known and by 1940, a total of 91 elements from natural sources and another 17 elements synthetically were obtained.

⭐. By now , including sunthetic elements , there are more than 115 elements .

⭐. As the number of elements increased , it became difficult to keep in memory the chemistries of individual elements and their compounds.

⭐. The classification of elements into metals and non - metals had so many limitations. So there was a need to classify them in other ways.

⭐. Hence, chemists started to framw ways to group these elements and compounds on the basis of their physical and chemical properties.
