johann dobereiner had contributed towards the base of the Periodic Table and discovered that the elements shared similiar properties because there always was three elementzs in three groups that he later refered to as Triads.

Johann Dobereiner placed elements with similar properties in to groups of threes called what?

Johann Dobereiner grouped elements with similar properties into triads. In these triads, he observed that the properties of the middle element were the average of the other two.


What are the importance of the triads of Johann Dobereiner?

Dobereiner was a German scientist who was one of the first men to discover a pattern in elements ultimately leading to the periodic table you use in science today. Dobereiner saw a pattern in chemical properties of elements, he saw these patterns in threes. These groups are called Triads. Later he found physical property patterns as well.Hope this will help you.


What are the merits of dobereiner's triads?

In 1817, a German chemist, Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner tried to arrange the elements with same properties into groups. He found out that some groups had only 3 elements and called them 'Triads'. He showed that when the 3 elements were written in their order of increasing atomic masses……the atomic mass of the middle element was roughly* the average of the masses of the other two elements.For example:Li Na K6.9 23.0 39.0Average of Li & K = 22.95, i.e., *roughly 23.0But since all the elements known then also couldn't be classified as this......'Dobereiner's Triads', as the table is known……wasn't useful……but the attempts of Dobereiner encouraged other chemists to correlate the properties of elements with their atomic masses.Sidz


What was the problem with Dobereiner's periodic table?

Dobereiner is remembered for what were called "Dobereiner's Triads" which are groups of three elements having similar chemical properties. This is a forerunner of the periodic table, but it is not actually a table, and it does not offer any explanation for the chemical similarities observed within the triads. Mendeleev's Periodic Table of the Elements shows the relationship of every element to every other element, and explains why they all have the chemical properties that they have.


Did dobereiner work with any other scientist while the discovery of the Periodic Table?

Yes, Dobereiner worked with the German chemist Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner the discovery of the law of triads in the early 1800s. They collaborated to identify patterns among elements and grouped them into triads based on similar chemical properties.
