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

How can a graph help predict the properties of elements that have not been discovered?
A graph can't, you mean the periodic table and there are plenty of answers to that question here already.
Why did Mendeleev called his arrangement of elements the periodic table?
If the elements (which were discovered by his time) were organized in the increasing order of their atomic weight, they will exhibit an apparent periodicity of properties. It also had the ability to predict physical and chemical properties of some undiscovered elements.
How could Dmitri Mendeleev predict the properties of elements that had not yet been discovered?
He most probably predicted it. He could have analyzed the table and could have thought there are a lot more elements out there. He probably thought the scientist in his generation did not know all of the elements.
How was the person who devised the first periodic table able to predict the behavior of elements such as gallium scandium and germanium that had not even been discovered yet?
The reason the periodic table was created in the first place was to illustrate the "periodic" physical properties of the known elements of the time. Because of this, the properties of elements that were "missing" from the table could be extrapolated from the periodic trends seen in the known elements.
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.
Mendeleevs periodic table was useful because it enabled scientists to predict properties of unknown?
elements
Was Mendeleev's periodic table accurate enough that he was able to use it to predict the existence and several properties of certain elements that had not yet been discovered?
Mendeleev was able to predict the properties of the elements that were not discovered at that time. He left gaps for these elements in his Periodic Table.
How could Mendeleev predict the properties of elements that had yet not been discovered?
He used the difference method
Why did Dimitri Mendeleev predict that more elements with specific properties would be discovered?
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.
Why are the hydrides of mendeleevs group 1 and 7 placed in separate groups?
Mendeleev left gaps in his table to place elements not known at the time. By looking at the chemical properties and physical properties of the elements next to a gap, he could also predict the properties of these undiscovered elements. For example, Mendeleev predicted the existence of 'eka-silicon', which would fit into a gap next to silicon. The element germanium was discovered later. Its properties were found to be similar to the predicted ones and confirmed Mendeleev's periodic table.
How was Menndeleyev able to predict the existence of elements that had not yet been discovered?
Mendeleev left gaps for undiscovered elements. He predicted their properties which were found to be accurate later.

What is medeleev's prediction?
It's probably Mendeleev you're after. He came up with the first version of a Periodic Table of the elements, and used this to predict the properties of elements that hadn't been discovered at that time.
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 did many elements did Mendeleev predict would be discovered?
3
Mendeleev's periodic table was accurate enough that he was able to use it to predict the existence and several properties of certain elements that had not yet been discovered true or false?
True.
