All the known elements could not be arranged in the form of triads. For very low mass or for very high mass elements, the Dobereiner’s triads are not applicable. Take the example of F, Cl and Br. Atomic mass of Cl is not an arithmetic mean of atomic masses of F and Br. As the techniques for measuring atomic masses accurately, improved, the Dobereiner’s triad was unable to remain strictly valid.
