Table of the
Elements
J.W. Dobereiner first
attempted to put
together a system for
classifying the
elements in 1827. He
used the idea of the
triad.
Dobereiner’s Triads
Element Atomic Density
Mass Average Average
Cl 35.5 1.56
Br 79.9 81.2 3.12 3.25
I 126.9 4.95
Ca 40.1 1.55
Sr 87.6 88.7 2.6 2.53
Ba 137.3 3.5
Note: In each case, the numerical values for the atomic mass and
density of the middle element are close to the averages of the other two
elements
John Newlands –
Presented the idea of
the octave in chemistry
back in 1863. Was
laughed out of the
building.
