Why was newland's law rejected ?

Answer 1

Newland's Law of Octaves was rejected mainly because it could not hold good for elements heavier than calcium. The relationship between the octaves started to break down since it was unable to accommodate newly discovered elements.

Answer 2

$\huge\red{\boxed{\bold{Answer}}}$

The law of octaves has the following limitations ;

• The law of octaves was found to be applicable only upto calcium. It was not applicable to elements of higher atomic masses.

• Position of hydrogen along with fluorine and chlorine was not justified on the basis of chemical properties.

Thus, it was realized that Newlands’ law of octaves worked well only with lighter elements. Therefore, this classification was rejected.
