Chapter VIII: Physical and Chemical Properties of Matter Quiz

The atomic weight of the middle element of the triads was approximately equal to the arithmetic mean of those of the other two elements.

The atomic weight of Na is approximately the average of Li and K, indicating the relationship between atomic weight and properties.
