Before the creation of the periodic table, the elements first had to be discovered. In 1869, 63 elements had been discovered. As the number of elements grew larger, scientists begin to see certain patterns in the elements. <ref>Western Oregon University.

Chlorine, bromine, and iodine were some of the elements that he saw similarities in. These elements were gases, had a similar color, and other similar qualities.
