Define Dobereiner Triad Rule . ♥️
Answers
Dobereiner’s law of triads states that, the atomic mass of the middle element of a triad is the arithmetic mean of the atomic masses of the other two elements. Example: In the triad of lithium, sodium and potassium. The atomic mass of lithium is 7 and the atomic mass of potassium is 39. The average of masses of lithium and potassium gives atomic mass of sodium 23. Drawbacks: All the known elements could not be arranged in the form of triads. This law did not hold good for elements with very low or very high atomic mass. Example: The arithmetic mean of the atomic masses of fluorine 19 and bromine 80, which comes to 49.5, varies significantly from the atomic mass of chlorine, which is 35.5.
@Scarletttt❤
He made group of three elements having similar chemical properties called TRAID.
In Dobereiner traid, atomic Weight of middle element is nearly equal to the average atomic Weight of first and third element.
1.Example :-
Cl ━ 35.5
Br ━ 80.0
I ━ 127
2. Example :-
Ca ━ 40
Sr ━ 87.5
Ba ━ 137
Here ,
x=Average atomic Weight.
Some other examples are :-
1. K, Rb, Cs
2. P, As, Sb
3. S, Se, Te
