Solution

The correct option is D

Potassium, atomic mass = 39 u


  • Dobereiner arranged elements in groups of three, called triads, in the increasing order of their atomic masses. In a triad, the atomic mass of the middle element was roughly equal to the average of the atomic masses of the other two elements.
  • From the given options, the only element that can form a Dobereiner's Triad, along with lithium and sodium is only pottassium.
  • If A, B and C are Dobereiner's Triads, Atomic mass of B=Atomic mass of A+Atomic mass of C2
