Yes, in fact that is the entire purpose of the Periodic Table, which is a listing of elements based on their properties. In this table, elements are grouped by atomic number (# of protons), and number of electrons in outer energy level. Patterns can be found in groups of elements called periods and families (rows and columns on the table). Google the periodic table for an explanation of how to use this and as an example for your question.
I had a school project that asked me to groups the elements according to their properties in a different way than the periodic table.
Mendeleev arranged the elements according to their atomic weight and valence.
They are organized according to atomic number, which refers to the number of protons that the nucleus contains. They are organized into columns, called families by the number of electrons in the orbitals. The farther down you go, the more elements, because there are more orbitals on higher energy levels. Also, the elements to the right of the line on the periodic table are nonmetals, the ones on the line are semimetals, and the ones to the left of the line are metals.
All elements have several properties.
No two elements have the same properties.
elements are a compourn of THEIR properties
according to the increasing atomic number.
The repeating pattern of elements of their properties is called periodicity. Elements are arranged according to same chemical properties.
Elements in the same group have similar properties. The groups are made according to the properties of elements. Elements in a group have an equal number of valence electrons.
Mendeleev arranged the elements according to their atomic weight and valence.
There are 18 families. They are made according to the properties of elements. So the elements in a group has similar properties.

Henry Moseley
According to Dmitri, properties of elements are periodic function of their atomic masses. He placed elements possessing same chemical properties together.
according to their properties. metals, nonmetals, and metalloids
according to the wights of the atoms and their properties.
Gallium which had the properties that Mendeleev predicted
