1. Early chemists classified elements as metals and non-metals on the basis of a set of physical and chemical properties.

2. Dobereiner classified elements on the basis of “Law of Triads” which states that “atomic mass of the middle element of a triad is almost the arithmetic mean of the other two elements”.


3. A triad of elements is a group of three elements arranged in the order of increasing atomic masses, such that a group of such elements have similar physical and chemical properties.


4. Newland classified elements on the basis of “Law of Octaves” stated by him. According to
this law :
“When the elements are arranged in the order of increasing atomic mass, the properties of the eighth element (starting from a given element) are a repetition of the properties of the first element.”
