    French geologistAlexandre-Emile Béguyer de Chancourtois plotted the atomic weights of elements on paper tape and wound them, spiral like, around a cylinder. The design put similar elements onto corresponding points above and below one another. He called his model the telluric helix or screw.

    English chemist John Newlands noticed that, if the elements were arranged in order of atomic weight, there was a periodic similarity every 7 elements. He proposed his ‘law of octaves’ – similar to the octaves of music. Noble gaseshad yet to be discovered, which is why Newland’s table had a periodicity of 7 rather than 8.

    Lothar Meyer compiled a periodic table of 56 elements based on a regular repeating pattern of physical properties such as molar volume. Once again, the elements were arranged in orderof increasing atomic weights. (Meyer’s work was not published until 1870.)

    Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev produced a periodic table based on atomic weights but arranged ‘periodically’. Elements with similar properties appeared under each other. Gaps were left for yet to be discovered elements.

    William Ramsay discovered the noble gases and realised that they represented a new group in the periodic table. The noble gases added further proof to the accuracyof Mendeleev’s table.

    Henry Moseley determined the atomic number of each of the known elements. He realised that, if the elements were arranged in order of increasing atomic number rather than atomic weight, they gave a better fit within the ‘periodic table’.

    Amateur French scientist Charles Janet uses mathematical patterns to investigate the electron configuration of elements. He groups elements into blocks named after their atomic orbitals: s-block (sharp), p-block (principal), d-block (diffuse) and f-block (fundamental).

    Glenn Seaborg proposed an ‘actinide hypothesis’ and published his version of the table in 1945. The lanthanide and actinide series form the two rows under the periodic table of elements.

    Most school science laboratories have a copy of the periodic table pinned to a wall somewhere. Close inspection of the table shows the following distribution of types of element. Most of the elements are metals. Metalloids are elements that have some of the physical properties of metals but some of the chemical properties of non-metals. Antimony, f...

  3. In 1864, UK chemist John Newlands arranged elements into ‘octaves’, which were close to a periodic table – but not quite. At around the same time as Mendeleev, German chemist Julius Meyer ...

  4. Jan 27, 2023 · English chemist John Newlands (1838-1898) ordered the elements in increasing order of atomic mass and noticed that every eighth element exhibited similar properties. He called this relationship the "Law of Octaves ".

  5. In 1864, an English scientist, John Newland proposed his ‘ law of octaves ’ where he arranged the elements in order of their atomic mass. Newland noticed that every 8th element had similar chemical properties. Newland’s Octaves.

  6. Branch of Science. Chemists. Nationality. English. Newlands, John (1837-1898) English chemist who in 1863 proposed the Law of Octaves which stated that chemical properties repeated with every eighth element. Because Newlands's use of a musical analogy in a chemical theory sounded like a regression to Pythagorean mysticism, the theory was ridiculed.
