How did Dobereiner classify the elements? Give one example of what were the limitations of this classification.

Answer»

Solution :He classified in group of three such that atomic No. of middle elements is average of first and third element. Eg: Li(7), Na(23), K(39), LIMITATIONS :
* Dobereiner could find only three TRIADS, i.e. total of 9 elements only.
* However the total NUMBER of elements were more than that of those encompassed in Dobereiner.s triad.
* THUS Dobereiner could not classify most of the elements known at that time..
