Answer

Mendeleev's periodic table classification system was much better than Newland's for two primary reasons: 1. Mendeleev's classification system grouped elements together according to their properties, which was far more accurate. 2. His system allowed for the prediction of properties of elements that had not yet been discovered. His system permitted scientists to predict the properties of several elements that had not yet been discovered and explored.
