Yes, Dobereiner's triads also exist in the column of Newland's octaves.

Newland's law of octaves, says that every eight elements had properties similar to that of the first.

For example, the element Lithium, sodium, and potassium are present in the second column of Newland's classification of elements. If lithium is the first element then, the sodium will be the 8th element and considering again sodium as the 1st element, then the 8th element will be potassium.

So, that means according to the Newland's Law of octaves, lithium, sodium, and potassium should have similar properties and also these elements form a Dobereiner's traid having similar chemical properties.

Yes, Dobereiner's triads also exist in the columns of Newlands' Octaves. Newlands Law of Octaves states that evry first element has the similar property to that of the it's first one.

For instance, in the second column of Newlands' Octaves Li, Na, and K are present. Now if Li is taken as the first element then the 8th element will be Na. Similarly, if Na is taken as the first element then the K will be it's 8th element. Hence, specifying that acc. to Newlands' Law of Octaves as well as Dobereiner's triads, Li, Na, and K should have similar chemical properties.
