1. Triads In 1817 Johann Dobereiner a German Chemist
grouped elements with similar chemical properties.
Most groups had three members
TRIADS
Ex. Lithium, Sodium and Potassium

2. In 1863 John Newlands an English Chemist
arranged elements by increasing mass
properties repeated every eighth element
similar to Music
THE LAW OF OCTAVES

3. Periodic Law
1869 – Lother Meyer and Demitri Mendeleev discover the Periodic Law.

4. KNOWN ELEMENTS H
Li soft silvery metal that reacts vigorously with water to form hydrogen gas and LiOH Be B C N O
F highly reactive deadly gas yellow in color
Na soft silvery metal that reacts vigorously with water to form hydrogen gas and NaOH Mg Al Si P S
Cl highly reactive deadly gas yellow-green in color
K soft silvery metal that reacts vigorously with water to form hydrogen gas and KOH

5. Periodic Law- If the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic weight, there is a periodic repetition of properties.

21. Special names for groups in the periodic table.
Groups and Periods
The elements in columns comprise groups.
The elements in rows comprise periods.
