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.”
