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.
