NewlandsNewlands In 1864, Newlands proposed an In 1864, Newlands proposed an
organization scheme for the elementsorganization scheme for the elements By arranging them in order of increasing By arranging them in order of increasing
atomic mass, he realized that their atomic mass, he realized that their properties repeated every eighth properties repeated every eighth element.element.
He called this periodicity the Law of He called this periodicity the Law of Octaves.Octaves.
Acceptance of his arrangement wasn’t Acceptance of his arrangement wasn’t immediate because it didn’t work immediate because it didn’t work universally in predicting chemical universally in predicting chemical properties.properties.
Meyer & MendeleevMeyer & Mendeleev
In 1869, Lothar Meyer demonstrated a In 1869, Lothar Meyer demonstrated a connection between atomic mass and elemental connection between atomic mass and elemental properties.properties.
In 1869, a Russian chemist named Dimitri In 1869, a Russian chemist named Dimitri Mendeleev also came up with a way of Mendeleev also came up with a way of organizing the elements that were known at the organizing the elements that were known at the time.time.
Both chemists set the elements out in order of Both chemists set the elements out in order of atomic massatomic mass
Both then grouped them into rows and columns Both then grouped them into rows and columns based on their chemical and physical properties. based on their chemical and physical properties.
Mendeleev predicted the existence and Mendeleev predicted the existence and properties of undiscovered elements, which is properties of undiscovered elements, which is largely why his table got such wide acceptance.largely why his table got such wide acceptance.

Instead of ordering elements by total Instead of ordering elements by total atomic mass, order by proton atomic mass, order by proton (atomic) number.(atomic) number.
This creates some minor shufflings in This creates some minor shufflings in Mendeleev’s table and allows us to Mendeleev’s table and allows us to better predict unknown elements.better predict unknown elements.
