Explanation:
Newland's Law of Octaves was proposed in 1864. In this, he arranged the elements in increasing order of their atomic weights and observed that the properties of every eighth element were similar to the first element. This law was based on the musical octaves, which have eight notes.
Example:
Newland arranged the elements in the following manner:
Li Be B C N O F Ne Na Mg Al Si P S Cl Ar K Ca Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni Cu Zn Ga Ge As Se Br Kr Rb Sr Y Zr Nb Mo Tc Ru Rh Pd Ag Cd In Sn Sb Te I Xe Cs Ba La Hf Ta W Re Os Ir Pt Au Hg Tl Pb Bi Po At Rn
Explanation of the answer:
According to Newland's Law of Octaves, every eighth element has properties similar to the first element. Thus, the similar properties of the eighth element will be similar to the first element, i.e., Li.
Hence, the correct answer is option 'D,' i.e., the properties of every eighth element are similar to the first element, which is Lithium.

Newland gave the theory of octets...according to this every eighth elements have properties similar to the first element....this theory failed because it could not be extended after 17 elements
