Did Döbereiner’s triads also exist in the columns of Newlands’ Octaves? Compare and find out.
Yes, there is only one triad of Dobereiner’s triads exists in the columns of Newlands’ octaves. The elements Li, Na, and K of Dobereiner’s triads also occurred in the columns of Newlands’ octaves.
Dobereiner could only find three triad from the elements known at that time.

Cl | K | Ca | Cr | Ti | Mn | Fe |
Co | Cu | Zn | Y | In | As | Se |
Br | Rb | Sr | Ce and La | Zr | - | - |
