    Study Notes

    Dobereiner's Work on Elements

    • In 1817, German scientist Dobereiner proposed that properties of elements are related to their atomic masses.
    • He organized elements into groups of three, called triads, based on similar chemical properties.
    • Dobereiner arranged the elements in a triad in order of increasing atomic mass.
    • He observed that the atomic mass of the middle element was approximately equal to the average of the atomic masses of the other two elements in a triad.
