Newland arranged elements in increasing order of atomic weights in series of eight.
Newland's Law of Octaves — Elements when arranged in increasing order of their atomic weights show resemblance in physical and chemical properties between the eighth element and the first element [similar to the eighth and first notes on a musical scale]
For example:
The eighth element from Lithium is Sodium and from Fluorine is Chlorine which show similarity in properties.
