In 1869, Mendeleev organized his Periodic Table by increasing Atomic Mass (atomic weight), using what is called the "law of octaves," by which every 8th element in the sequence shared similar properties. This was first observed by John Newlands in his element table around 1863.
Atomic Mass Octaves and Triads
Newlands and Dobereiner. Newlands did the Law of Octaves. Dobereiner did the Triads.
John newlands attempted to arrange the elements into the law of octaves but had got mocked by many peers
The properties of elements in the periodic table are repeated at intervals of eight atomic numbers.Unfortunately, in music word "octave" refers to the scale between the first and eighth note - second note is seven notes after the first. In the periodic table, the pattern repeats after a gap of eight elements.
Newland arranged all the then known elements into seven groups in his 'law of octaves'

Before the modern periodic table , the concepts for classification of elements were given by Dobereiner , Newland law of octaves ,Mendeleev's periodic table.
John Newlands, in designing his table, believe that it was governed by the "Law of Octaves". While this is true for elements in what are now groups 2 and 3, it fails in period 4, when the periodicity becomes 18.

Because there were gaps in the periodic table, which he invented. Unlike other scientist of the time who tried to make the elements fit theircategorising system, such as Newlands and his law of octaves, Mendeleev came to the conclusion that they had not discovered all the elements as he noticed patterns that allowed you to categorise elements if you left gaps that undiscovered elements could fill.

Dmitri Mendeleev 1834-1907 however, Antoine Lavoisier in 1790's had compiled a list of elements (so basically the 'first periodic table') Than in 1864 John newlands "proposed an organized scheme for elements." He created the law of octaves. when he noticed that "when elements were arranged in increasing atomic mass their properties repeated every eighth element.' (first and eighth elements had similar properties). However 1869, Lothar Meyer 1830-1895, AS WELL AS Dmitri mendeleev 'demonstrated connection between atomic mass and elemental properties'. HOWEVER: "Mendeleeve is given more credit because he published his orgnanization scheme first and better demonstrated its usefulness." Quotes from my text book p 151 (glencoe science: chemistry matter and change)
when the periodic table was first made, it only had the basic elements eg. hydrogen, oxygen, etc. Now with scientist finding more elements and creating them eg. americum, einstienium or europium, there are more elements than ever before. An element only has to exist for 2 seconds before they put it on the periodic table.
