Explain Dobereiner’s law of triads with an example.

1 Answer

Answer :

According to Dobereiner’s law of triads: When elements are arranged in the order of

increasing atomic masses in groups of three elements, the atomic mass of the middle

element of the triad is equal to the average atomic mass of the other two elements.

Example 1:

Atomic mass of chlorine = 35.5

Atomic mass of Iodine = 127

35.5 127

2

Average atomic mass =

162.5

2

81.25

The atomic mass of middle element Bromine = 80

Example 2:

Atomic mass of Calcium = 40

Atomic mass of Barium = 137

40 137

2

Average atomic mass =

177

2

88.5

The atomic mass of middle element Strontium = 88

Description : Why are transistors better than triads ?

Last Answer : Both triodes and transistors act as amplifiers. But due to the large size of the triode valve, there is a problem in installing it in the electronic device. This requires more energy ... and cooling system. But transistors do not have these problems. So transistors are better than triodes.
