John Newlands placed hydrogen at the beginning of his Periodic Table in the context of his law of octaves because he noticed that elements exhibited similar properties when arranged in order of increasing atomic weight. By positioning hydrogen at the start, he aimed to highlight its similarities with lithium, the next element in the series. This arrangement allowed him to group elements with analogous chemical properties every eight elements, establishing a foundational concept in the development of the periodic table.
Helium and neon did not appear in Newlands' table because they are noble gases, which were not discovered until after Newlands' periodic table had been proposed. The noble gases were not known at the time when Newlands arranged the elements based on their properties.

it wasn't a real table
Since John Newlands proposed his octaves in the 1860s, several elements have been discovered, including those in the lanthanide and actinide series, as well as synthetic elements like technetium, francium, and all the transuranium elements up to oganesson (element 118). Additionally, elements such as gallium, germanium, and scandium were identified after Newlands' time. Advancements in nuclear physics and chemistry have led to the synthesis of heavier elements that were not known during Newlands' era.
Neon and helium were missing from Newlands' periodic table because they are noble gases and were not well understood at the time. These gases are chemically inert and do not readily form compounds with other elements, making them distinct and not fitting into the periodic trends that Newlands was trying to establish.
what is newlands law of octaves
because he want to prove his work
The five elements discovered between hydrogen and iron since Newlands' time are helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, and carbon.
