Limitations of Newland's Octave Rule:-
For example, chromium (Cr) and yttrium (Y) are the first and the eighth element placed in the same column but they have entirely different properties.
For example, iron (Fe) resembles cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni) but has been placed far away from these elements.

→ Law of Octaves only applicable upto calcium and after calcium every 8th did not possess properties similar to that of the first.
→ At the time of Newlands' only 56 elements were existed in nature and Newlands'assume that no more elements will be discovered the future.
→ But, later on , several new elements were discovered, whose properties did not fit into the law of octaves.
→ One important demerit of Newlands' law that he adjusted two elements in the same slot such as Cobalt and nickel [ Co and Ni ] .
→ With the discovery of noble gases the law of octaves become irrelevant.
→ Newlands'law of Octaves worked well with lighter elements only.
