Question
In which way was Newland’s Law of Octaves comparable to a musical note.
Solution
Newland’s Law of Octaves: “When elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic masses, the properties of every eighth element (starting from any element) are the repetition of the properties of that starting element.
| Sa | Re | Ga | Ma | Pa | Dha | Nee |
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| H | Li | Be | B | C | N | O |
| F | Na | Mg | Al | Si | P | S |
Properties of F are similar (eight) to H (first)
Properties of Na (eight) are similar to Li (first)
C (first) is similar to Si (eight) elements like musical notes.
