Döbereiner's triads
What is a triad?
In Chemistry, Dobereiner triads are defined as, any of several sets of three
chemically same elements, the atomic weight of one, which is nearly equal to
the mean of the atomic weights of the other two elements.
What physical property was used to organize the elements?
In 1817 Döbereiner found that if certain elements were combined with
oxygen in binary compounds, a numerical relationship between the
equivalent weights of these compounds could be discerned.
What was interesting about the middle element when the 3 elements were
organized in triads?
All the elements of triad had similar chemical properties. Doeringer
was the first to show the relationship between the properties of
elements and their atomic masses. When elements were arranged in
order of their increasing atomic mass, the atomic mass of the middle
element was approximately the arithmetic
mean of the other two elements of the triad.

Mendeleev's periodic table
What two things did Mendeleev notice was wrong with Newland’s previous
Octave periodic table?
 Mendeleev included only the elements known at the time, while Newlands
left gaps for elements that he predicted would be discovered later.
 Mendeleev maintained a strict order of atomic weights. Meanwhile,
Newlands changed the order of some elements if it better matched their
properties.
 Mendeleev was criticized by other scientists for grouping some elements
with others when they were obviously very different from each other.
While Newlands was seen as a curiosity at first, but then as a useful tool
when the predicted elements were later discovered.
What physical property was used to organize the elements?
Mendeleev left gaps in his periodic table because the properties of known elements
predicted other, as-yet-undiscovered, elements in these locations. Mendeleev put
together the periodic table based on known properties about atoms, specifically
the atomic mass, equivalent mass, and valency.
Why did Mendeleev leave gaps in his periodic table?
Mendeleev left gaps in his periodic table because the properties of known elements
predicted other, as-yet-undiscovered, elements in these locations. Mendeleev put
