What are the Defects of Triad Classification?

Answer»

Defects of Triad Classification

• A large number of similar elements could not be grouped into triads e.g., iron, manganese, nickel, cobalt, zinc and copper are similar elements but could not be placed in the triads.

• It was possible that quite dissimilar elements could be grouped into triads.

• Dobereiner could only classify 3 triads successfully (highlighted in the table).

Since he failed to arrange the then known elements in the form of triads his attempt at classification was not very successful.
