In Dobereiner's triads, when three elements in a triad are written in the increasing order of atomic masses; the atomic mass of the middle element is roughly the average of the atomic masses of the other two elements. Identify ‘X’ from the given triad.

Solution

The correct option is B
23.0

Given Li (6.9), Na (X), K (39.0)
Applying the property of Dobernier's triads for the above triad-
$\frac{(6.9 + 39.0)}{2}$ $\approx$ 23.0 = X
$⟹ X = 23$
