Among the following elements F, Cl, Br and I, which does not fit in Dobereiner’s triad.

F does not fit in dobereiner’s triad.

Dobereiner stated that when the elements in a group are arranged in increasing order of their atomic masses then the atomic mass of the middle element is approximately the average of atomic masses of two other elements. Fluorine doesn’t fit into this rule while the atomic mass of Br is average of the atomic masses of Cl and I.
