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.
