What to Focus On

  • Classification helps in organised study of elements.
  • It helps in relating properties of elements.
  • Atomic mass was first considered a better basis for classification.

  • A triad is a group of three elements.
  • The middle element has atomic mass near the average of the other two.
  • The three elements of a triad have similar chemical properties.

  • Mean atomic mass is used to test a triad.
  • Some triads fit well, but not all.
  • The halogen example F, Cl, Br shows the failure of the law.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Atomic mass decides the position of every element in the modern periodic table.

Isotopes must occupy different positions because their atomic masses are different.

Hydrogen clearly belongs only to Group 1.
