The law of traids is applicable to__________?

Correct answer: C. Cl, Br, I

  • A. Li, Be, B
  • B. F, Cl, Br
  • C. Cl, Br, I
  • D. Na, K, Rb

Explanation

Dobereiner's triads contain three elements with similar properties, such as chlorine, bromine and iodine, written as F, Cl and Br in the options here? Actually the valid halogen triad listed is Cl, Br, I, so option c is correct. Students may choose d because Na, K and Rb are successive Group 1 elements, but Na, K and Rb are not the usual Dobereiner triad used in this question.

About Periodic Properties and Trends

Periodic properties arise from electron configuration and effective nuclear charge, producing trends in atomic and ionic radius, ionization energy, electron affinity, electronegativity, metallic character and reactivity. Comparisons run across periods and down groups, with attention to common exceptions. The topic also relates these trends to the behavior of s-block and p-block elements.
