...approximately equal intervals. In the light of known facts they came to the conclusion that the chemical and physical properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic weights. This generalisation, which is termed the Periodic Law, has been adopted as the basis of chemical classification.... | |

...Meyer, independently, propounded the Periodic Law, which is based apparently upon the fact that all the properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic weights.* We may secure a clearer understanding of this, if the elements are tabulated in a modified form (p. 108),... | |
