Other chemists disagreed with John Newlands primarily because his Periodic Table, arranged by increasing Atomic Mass, led to inconsistencies and anomalies, such as grouping elements with differing properties. Additionally, the concept of "octaves" he proposed, where elements with similar properties appeared every eighth element, was seen as overly simplistic and not universally applicable. His ideas were also overshadowed by the more refined periodic table developed later by Dmitri Mendeleev, which better accommodated the periodic trends observed in the elements.

Some notable foreign chemists in the field include Marie Curie (Poland/France) who discovered polonium and radium, Dmitri Mendeleev (Russia) who formulated the periodic table, and Linus Pauling (USA) who worked on the nature of chemical bonds.
John Newlands previously tried to arrange the elements by organizing them in order of increasing atomic mass. He also noticed that every eighth element had similar properties, leading him to propose the law of octaves in 1864.
Since John Newland's time in the 1860s, numerous new elements have been discovered and added to the periodic table. Notably, elements such as francium, promethium, and the transuranium elements (those beyond uranium) have been identified, expanding the known total to 118 elements. Advances in nuclear chemistry and physics have also led to the synthesis of superheavy elements, which are often highly unstable and exist only for brief moments. Additionally, the understanding of atomic structure and electron configurations has significantly evolved, refining how elements are categorized and related to one another.
