Newlands arranged all of the known elements, starting with hydrogen and ending with thorium (atomic weight 232), into eight groups of seven, which he likened to octaves of music. [6] [7] In Newlands' table, the elements were ordered by the atomic weights that were known at the time and were numbered sequentially to show their order.

He noted, as John A. R. Newlands did in England, ... CaZn 2 (AsO 4) 2 · 2H 2 O, was discovered in 1983 and named in recognition of Meyer's work on the Periodic Law.
1861: Thallium discovered by William Crookes (1832–1919). [54] 1865: Periodic Table devised by John Newlands (1837–1898); his Law of Octaves was a precursor to the Periodic Law. [139] 1868: Helium discovered in the sun (via spectroscopy) by Norman Lockyer (1836–1920); not until ten years later was it found on Earth.
August 20 – John Alexander Reina Newlands produces the first periodic table of the elements. [5] November 27 – Barbituric acid is first synthesized, by German chemist Adolf von Baeyer. Lothar Meyer develops an early version of the periodic table, with 28 elements organized by valence. [6] [7]
Three years later, in 1866, he presented his ideas to the Chemical Society, unfortunately for Newlands, the musical analogy was not well received – the audience suggesting he might as well have ordered the elements alphabetically. Today, Newlands' Octaves are known as the Law of Periodicity, and Mendeleev was thinking along the same lines.
The boiler from the John Evenson steam tug now lies on the bottom of Lake Michigan. The 54-foot steam tug sank on June 5, 1895, and was finally discovered by two Wisconsin maritime historians on ...
