Given below and the atomic masses of the elements:
\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|}
\hline \text { Element: } & \mathrm{Li} & \mathrm{Na} & \mathrm{Cl} & \mathrm{~K} & \mathrm{Ca} & \mathrm{Br} & \mathrm{Sr} & \mathrm{I} & \mathrm{Ba} \\
\hline \text { Atomic Mas }\left(\mathrm{g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\right): & 7 & 23 & 35.5 & 39 & 40 & 80 & 88 & 127 & 137 \\
\hline
\end{array}

Which of the following doesn't form triad?

  1. A \(\mathrm{Ba}, \mathrm{Sr}, \mathrm{Ca}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Cl}, \mathrm{Br}, \mathrm{I}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Cl}, \mathrm{K}, \mathrm{Ca}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Li}, \mathrm{Na}, \mathrm{K}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{Cl}, \mathrm{K}, \mathrm{Ca}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Elements in triad should have similar properties \(\mathrm{K}, \mathrm{Ca}\) are metals Cl is non metals
