(b) The given sequence represents which law of classification of elements
(a) SET 1 – F, Cl
SET 2 – Na, K
(b)The law of octaves states that every eighth element has similar properties when the elements are arranged in the increasing order of their atomic masses.
Based on Newlands octaves rule the above elements can be arranged as Follows:
