Question
When scientist first negan grouping element that had similar chemical properties did they call them families, triads, or clusters
Newland called them triads, in 1864. But I am not certain at the time he knew what he had discovered, although later he argued he should have gotten credit for the law of periodic change.
Meyer called them famlies four years later.
