Question
Which of the following can form Dobereiner’s triads with lithium (atomic mass = 6.9 u) and sodium (atomic mass = 23 u)?
Options:
A .  Sulphur, atomic mass = 32 u
B .  Chlorine, atomic mass = 35 u
C .  Calcium, atomic mass = 40 u
D .  Potassium, atomic mass = 39 u
Answer: Option D
:
D

  • Dobereiner arranged elements in groups of three, called triads,in the increasing order of their atomic masses. In a triad, the atomic mass of the middle element was roughly equal to the average of the atomic masses of the other two elements.

  • From the given options, the only element that can form aDobereiner's Triad, along with lithium and sodiumis only pottassium.

  • If A, B and C are Dobereiner's Triads, Atomic mass of B=Atomic mass of A+Atomic mass of C2
