position on the Periodic Table
By placing the elements in order of their Atomic Mass then grouping them based on similar chemical properties, Mendeleev recognized that there were gaps in the pattern he made where elements should be. He predicted there were some elements yet to be discovered and predicted their chemical properties. The elements he predicted were later discovered and named germanium, gallium, and scandium.
The usefulness of Mendeleev's periodic table was confirmed by the discovery of elements with predicted properties.
Gallium which had the properties that Mendeleev predicted
He predicted that elements with the predicted properties would be discovered to fill in these gaps.
because,he predicted some possible chemical formulas of the then undiscovered elements between the elements in his periodic table. so he concluded that more elements with specific properties would be discovered.
An elements property can be best predicted from the group it is in the Periodic Table. Groups (the columns of the tables) of elements have similar properties due to their similar electron configuration of the valence shell.

- allowed rational ordering of chemical elements- predicted the properties of unknown elements- the chemical behavior of chemical elements can be predicted- the atomic radius can be predicted- the melting point can be predictedand more

Gallium which had the properties that Mendeleev predicted
He predicted that elements with the predicted properties would be discovered to fill in these gaps.
Examples: atomic weight, density, chemical properties.
because,he predicted some possible chemical formulas of the then undiscovered elements between the elements in his periodic table. so he concluded that more elements with specific properties would be discovered.
Mendeleev left gaps for undiscovered elements. He predicted their properties which were found to be accurate later.
- predicted the discovery of undiscovered elements and also predicted their properties. - highlighted some atomic weights of elements were incorrect - showed regular gradartion in physical and chemical properties of elements. - provided for variance from atomic weight order - provided the basis for the modern periodic table
Yes, Dimitri Mendeleev did (accurately, I might add) predict where elements would appear in his table. He also correctly predicted some of the missing elements' properties, based on where they were positioned in his table.
