similar properties
Mendeleev grouped elements according to their properties. For more info see this article: http://chemistry.suite101.com/article.cfm/the_periodic_table_of_the_elements
he put them in groups to show acids from alkali's and gasses from metals
Nominally atomic mass, but in practice he knew this wasn't strictly correct and "cheated" a little based on chemical properties in a couple of cases (he thought the measured masses were wrong).
The most important principle was the listing in groups, after similar chemical or physical properties.
mendeleev's name for a column of elements was groups.
similar properties
This was the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev.
All chemical elements are placed in the perodic table of elements of Mendeleev.
The periodic table of Mendeleev contain now 118 chemical elements arranged in groups and periods.
The periodic table of Mendeleev has 18 groups and 7 periods.

This is the group 18 of the periodic table of Mendeleev.

Both arrange elements in groups of elements having similar properties.
Both arrange elements in groups of elements having similar properties.
