Question

Why was newland's periodic table rejected?

Answer 1

he devide atom on basis on atomic mass in 8 group and gave law of octave and he found that each element was similar to the element eight places further on. For example, starting at Li, Be is the second element, B is the third and Na is the eighth element. it had problems. For example, he put iron in the same group as oxygen and sulphur, which are two non-metals and at that time inert gas was not discovered.he didnot leave place for that so after discovery of inert gas there was a problem where it is put
so by these reasons it was rejected
