Döbereiner's Triads attempted to group elements in threes based on their chemical and physical properties. This was an early attempt at organizing elements in a systematic way and can be considered a precursor to Mendeleev's periodic table. Dalton's Atomic Theory and Atomic Masses, as well as Berzelius's Atomic Weights, were important contributions to the development of modern chemistry but did not directly attempt to organize elements in a periodic manner.
