tion:Earlier Attempts at Classification of ElementsScience has made some giant leaps in the last century. Some stunning discoveries and INVENTIONS. In the field of chemistry also startling discoveries have been made. But none as significant as the Modern Periodic Table. But it was a long road to get here. Let us TAKE a journey and look at the earlier attempts at classification of elements.SolveQuestionsSuggested Videos Earlier Attempts at Classification of ElementsAs said before the journey to our current periodic table was a long and arduous one. Many scientists and chemists tried to attempt to classify the elements in a LOGICAL way. The first and most apparent one was to classify all elements into metals and non-metals.
