Study Notes

Law of Triads

Döbereiner grouped three elements with similar properties.
The atomic mass of the middle element is roughly the average of the other two.
Example: Li, Na, K (7, 23, 39)

Law of Octaves

Newlands arranged elements in increasing order of atomic mass.
Every 8th element had similar properties.
Elements shown similarities in properties: Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F; Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl

Teluluric Helix Model

De Chancourtois plotted a graphic of atomic weight versus elements
Observed peaks and valleys in the plot relating to element properties
Peaks related to alkali metals; valleys to earth metals
Further, peaks related to halogen; minima for heavy/transition metals
