6. Dobereiner’s law of triad states that the
atomic mass of middle element of triad is
arithmetic mean of atomic masses of other
two elements.
For example in the triad of lithium sodium
and potassium.
9. DEMERITS OF LAW OF TRIAD:
Dobereiner’s law of triad was failed because
all elements can not arrange in triads and
many elements were not discovered at that
time
11. The elements were placed in increasing order
of their atomic masses and it was noted
that every eighth element had properties
similar to the first element.
Just like MUSICAL NOTES.
15. He presented a law known as periodic law.
PERIODIC LAW:
According to this law,
Properties of elements are periodic
functions of their atomic masses.
16. DEMERITS OF MENDELEEV
PERODIC LAW:
This law does not explain the position of
elements.
Wrong order of atomic masses of some
elements.
