Which scientific method could be used to predict the properties of an element?

Periodic table


How can the periodic table be used to predict the properties of an element that has not been discovered?

It can't. the properties of an element determine it's group placement, without knowledge of these properties (or, indeed, the element itself) it would be impossible to place an element in it's proper place on the periodic table.


What can you use the Periodic Table of Elements for to predict about the elements?

An element's physical and chemical properties. You can also predict what elements will bond with each other.


How was it possible that Mendeleev was able to predict the properties of element no one knew about?

If I knew I wouldn't be asking!


How could Mendeleevs table be used to predict the properties of elements that had not been discovered?

Comparing the properties of the new element with the properties of the other elements in the group we can make this prediction.


How did Mendeleev predict the properties of silicon?

Mendeleev did not predict the properties of silicon.


How did Mendeleev place germanium on the periodic table?

Mendeleev was able to predict the properties of the yet unknown element (Germanium) by the properties of the surrounding known elements on his periodic table of the elements. Predicting properties such as reactivity, density, atomic mass, etc., he knew where the undiscovered element would be placed.


How can you predict the placement of an unknown element on a periodic table based on physical an chemical properties?

You look at trends. An element is likely to have properties somewhere between the element above it and the element below it; if there's nothing below it (or above it), then you can follow the general trend up (or down) that column and extrapolate.


How did mendeleev make predictions about the properties of elements?

This is a very wordy response, but by setting up the Periodic Table according to elements' properties and characteristics, he was able to predict any given elements' properties because, with the way the Periodic Table is arranged, all of the elements surrounding any specific element would have similar properties to the element that they surrounded. For example, at the time there was no element known as Aluminum, but given the properties of the elements around that area (Group 13), he was able to correctly predict Aluminum's properties. When aluminum was discovered, Mendeleev's predictions were extremely close to the actual element's properties.


How can you predict the properties of missing elements?

yes, properties of an element depends on its atomic number and atomic mass unless it is an exception and the atomic number and atomic mass of unknown elements are known by placing it in periodic table
