DOBEREINER TRIAD RULE

J.W. Dorbereiner pointed out that within a group of three elements having similar chemical and physical properties, the atomic weight of the middle element is the mean of the other two. Some examples of such triads are given below. He also pointed out the triad - iron, cobalt, and nickel in which the atomic weights of the elements are almost the same.

Ca - 40 amu

Sr - 88 amu

Ba - 137 amu

\frac{40+137}{2}=\frac{177}{2}=88.5

Therefore, Option(2) is correct
