Answer:

atomic mass

Step-by-step explanation:

A British chemist named John Newlands organized the elements known at that time into a system of periodicity based on an order of increasing atomic masses.

In his table, it was found that every eight elements had similar properties. He called this observation the law of octaves.

Currently, the periodicity of elements is based on increasing atomic numbers and this is generally called the modern periodic law.
