Assertion (A): In a Dobereiner's triad, the three elements present have the same difference of atomic masses.

Reason (R): Elements in a triad have similar properties.

  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true but R is false.
  4. A is false but R is true.

Answer

A is false but R is true.

Explanation — In Dobereiner’s triads, the atomic mass of the middle element is approximately the average of the atomic masses of the other two. Hence, Assertion (A) is false.
Dobereiner grouped elements into triads because they had similar chemical properties. Hence, Reason (R) is true.
