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
