(N/A) Newlands' law of Octaves states that when elements are arranged in the order of increasing atomic masses,the properties of every eighth element are a repetition of the properties of the first element. This pattern is analogous to the musical notes in an octave (sa,re,ga,ma,pa,dha,ni,sa),where the eighth note is the same as the first.
