Solution

Dear Student,

The first scientist to classify elements on the basis of their properties was Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. He grouped the elements based on their properties into gases, non-metals, metals and earths. After him, in 1829, Döbereiner classified the elements into triads based on similar chemical properties.
